It's a "hot-swap" drive. You have to get the drive from HP and it's a way to easily swap the drive with other HP and Compaq computers.

^^ Yup
Only thing is they use usb1.1 and are 2.5" laptop drives. So they are slow and expensive. You'd be better off with a 3.5" external hdd

I wouldn't buy a no-name external hard drive--I'd get something like this:
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16822207014 It has eSATA--a bonus if your motherboard supports it.

Lacie drives are of very high quality and durability, however you do pay the price for it... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...900&name=LaCie If you want something more in the standard range of price, get either a Hitachi or Fujitsu; a Seagate will do as well.
