First things first. Size needed and money you want to spend.

I dont know yet i am going to use it for .exe files or files to install stuff cz i am tired of downloading the same stuff over and over again because my 2x1GB USB Drive are all used. I need it so i dont need to download the same stuff in all my 8 computers.
I have a hard drive case from Ultra and added the hard drive of my choice so that it can be swapped out if desired. Plus the case is easy to replace if it fails.
The case has a tiny fan and instructions on formatting the new HD. This took a fairly long time to do for a 300 GB HD, but it only needs to be done once at the beginning. It works perfectly and is easily recognized by different computers, but it does take a very brief time to boot up when it's first plugged into the USB and powered on. The time depends on the amount of data being stored on it.

No, but it doesn't matter. Most exHDDs are USB2.0.
