Personally I would bite the cost and go for compact flash cards.
Unless you get a SSD I wouldn't trust an HDD being lugged all over the place and you do get ripped off with those little devices I find, 500gb for $170!
Personally I use SD cards which are dirt cheap and very safe so I'm ok but I would again recommend buying a few compact flash cards and just keep filling them up.
Would this memory card work? I am not very tech savvy, and definitely want to get one of these up and running.
Edit: Thanks for the info. Me and technology are not always happy together.
I have been using Transcend SD Cards no problem on the 60D but have seen complaints about the CF cards which makes me think maybe I should just go with what the pros use, and the recommendation has been Sandisk.
I looked at the 5D M3 manual online and saw that for ALL I on CF cards you should use a card that is 30 MB and 20 for SD. Not sure why that is. So theoretically are you getting more quality from the CF cards?
Since the manual said 30, I have been looking at the Sandisk extremes which are 60MB. Based on what the manual says, I am guessing the PRO extreme cards at 90 are overkill.
Look at the reviews here. Some of them scare me somewhat: http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Compact-Flash-Card-400X/product-reviews/B002WE4H8I/ref=cm_cr_pr_btm_link_next_2?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=0&pageNumber=2&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending
That is EVEN THOUGH I use their SD cards just fine. So I am wondering if I should bite the bullet and go Sandisk. It's what the pros are suggesting and I just cannot risk anything when it comes to weddings.
Unless I'm missing something, get a few of these...

$1.37/GB a LOT less expensive than any other linked. Is there some requirement I'm missing here? I got lucky and got 4x of them for < 30 a piece. With my 7D I can get ~1000 shots shooting full RAW+Full JPG.
I shared cards with a colleague of mine and ran into this problem with his Sandisk cards. Never had issues with my cheap transcend cards from amazon though.
