I bought this SSD since I liked my 120GB Samsung. Performance is great, and very fast. Boot up time on Windows 7 is about 7-8 seconds on my Acer laptop. Prices are constantly going down for SSD, too.
I would recommend this to a friend!

 WD - My Passport Ultra 1TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive - Black
WD - My Passport Ultra 1TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive - Black
Save your files quickly with this WD My Passport Ultra external hard drive, which features a USB 3.0 interface for transmitting data at up to 480 Mbps. The 1TB capacity offers ample space for data backup and file storage.
 

Can the WD be used to back up a system image file, for total disk restore?

I am intending to use this external drive not only to backup data and transfer to a different PC, but also to create a system image (probably in different partitions), including OS (registry), apps/programs, data, pictures, etc. The WD earlier answer for transferring files stated that their backup was only for data.
Use different software to make a system image of the computer. Norton Ghost, Windows built in "Backup and Restore" or AOMEI Backupper Standard will all work to do what you want. The drive isn't the issue, its the software for your request.

Does if back up my data automatically?

All I want is something to use as a backup in case my computer crashes. Is this it?
Yes, you can, but 1TB might not be big enough, depending on how large of a drive you currently have. You can use free software, or use the native Windows Backup and Restore capabilities. Either way, this drive will work as a backup drive.
