I am looking for a 500GB or more external portable hard drive. I want it to be powered by a USB cable instead of an external power source. Also i dont want to spend a lot on one, but i will spend the extra money to get the better product.

Here is a pretty good one: 500GB/USB 2.0 Powered/$120

This one is also good and reliable with 500GB, but uses an AC Adapter Power Source, it is cheaper though $95

This one has a faster data transfer rate and is a little smaller than both above, however it is $130

What is the difference between an external hard drive and a portable hard drive?

I need a hard drive to save all my downloads for iTunes on so that I don't use up the computer space. I found an 500gb external hard drive for about 80$, and 160gb portable hard drive for about 110$. What's the difference between an external and portable, because it sounds like the same concept to me.

Answer
they are the exact same but some people don't know the right word
but portable hard drives are pocket sizes kinda like a flash drive but a bit bigger and external hard drive is more of an at home one you plug into the wall. id go with the external 500gb for 80 rather than 160 for 110 500 is allot more and more useful my opinion.
