I couldn't find either of those for a reasonable price but saw a Seagate
GoFlex 250GB on Scan and took a flyer.
I can confirm that it works fine.

Can anyone recommend any specfic devices that fall within the above
spec? 250GB would be ample.
I want to buy one for my Mum who
LaCie Rikiki 250GB
Western Digital My Passport 250GB
Both devices have been reported by users as working with the Touch,
powered from USB.

I assume you are asking about a drive working when dirctly attached to
the USB port on the Touch. I cannot help w the drive you mentioned, but
I have used a Toshiba Canvio 1TB drive attached this way. It did work. I
did not have a plugins etc when I used the drive this way. I switched to
running
Bearing in mind that I'm in the UK (so some drives might not be
available over here) does anyone have any recommendations for a USB
drive? I'm looking at the Samsung S2 1TB, but being aware from other
posts that the Touch is a bit touchy would there be any particular
problems with this?

Many USB bus powered drives _do_ work with the Touch. Note that they're
all 2.5 drives or smaller. Many people have had good luck with the
Toshiba Canvio external drives. If the hard drive is powered, or if you
run it from a powered USB hub, then just about any drive should work.
I'm not sure
The key point is that the connected drive, if not powered externally,
must not draw more than 500 mA (or 2.5 W) when running (case included).
