A portable hard drive plugs into the USB or eSATA jack. (It's external to the computer.) An expansion drive is an internal drive.

is there such a thing as a portable hard drive that you can download directly to without the need for a computer? i'm going on a trip where i will be taking a hefty number of photos and i'd like to be able to dump the memory cards without also having to bring a computer with me.
i know i could just bring a bunch of memory cards but that's a lot to buy and i'd prefer to back them up anyway. does such a product exist? or am i stuck with the laptop?

Portable drive to load camera photos were common in the 10,20,40, and 60GB sizes until they were priced out of the market by the high capacity SD flash drives. You can buy those now for less than $1 a GB in the 16, 32GB size. Be sure you test each one before going on your trip.
If you still want a very large (500GB or bigger) hard disk, contact a photo store or B&H Photo or Adorama about those that interface with cameras or camera cards. Tell them about your equipment to get a match. http://www.adorama.com/catalog.tpl?op=recommend&sku=DFPS2250G has a 500 and a 320, battery pack, card reader included. Get an extra battery pack.

If no match, you can try an adapter cord to a battery powered hard disk:

One thing to consider is in a stack of cards, if one goes bad, the others are OK. But if a 320HD is damaged, the whole thing and all its pix are gone.
What size and style flash cards your camera(s) take and the total shot volume planned may govern how you go on storage of the photos. I hope all of them survive.
