buy an enclosure (~$20) and a big 'internal hard-drive'
install the internal HD into the enclosure and you have a much cheaper option that buying one 'out of the box'
EDIT
this ain't bad for 300gig: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2244169&Sku=S130-4034
although i'm sure there are deal's if you are feeling the need to shop. it has firewire and USB 2.
thanks todd

be careful with this george, you do not have a SATA capable device (i.e. laptop)
