This is usually cheaper, but you do have to sacrifice one thing. Using this kind they need 2 plugs, one to the comp. and on to an outlet for power. As you can see on the back is 2 plugs, a mini usb for pluging into the comp, and a power adapter. You get more space for cheaper using these. For ex. My 1 TB was 100. They can be found just about anywhere where computer stuff is sold. These are normally larger than portable ones.

Now these are for if you move it around. I personally dont own one, but i know lots about them. This one only has one plug, and thats for plugging in to computer/jtag. These are normally more expensive. For ex. A 500gb is 100$, when an external for 100$ i can get 1tb.

Now when you open it up, you cant just pop files on and plug it in. XexMenu only reads drives formatted in FAT32. Normally external drives are formatted differently. And windows is designed so no drive larger than 32GB can be FAT32. So you need something to format it into FAT32.
