I bought an internal slim one for $60 on amazon for 320gb, I will never need anything else so for $60 it really isnt that bad.

Well then you arent going to find anything cheaper than $60 then. Thats the low range price for external hard drives, anything lower is probably absolute crap or really small size.

Ya really easy, you can either use a data transfer cable or just switch out the casing in the hard drives.

I would think about saving some extra cash and getting a larger drive. If you plan on using the HDD for storage of games, it's always better to have more space than you actually THINK you'll need. 320GB is a good size, but it could run out quicker than you think.

I have a 1TB Western Digital drive, and only have about 100GB left. I originally purchased a 250GB, and ran through it pretty quick. I'd save some cash and purchase something bigger.

Link to the drive I use. Have had it over a year, never had a problem.
