tech-challenged

Dear tech-savvy people,

I want to buy an external HDD.

I know what I want. I want a cheap but durable HDD with at least 160gb capacity. BUT - I don't think I can just walk into a computer shop and say those words without putting a big "DUMB" advertisement across my forehead. Or get lost in tech-talk and buy something I really don't need.

Uh, a little help to make this stupid person look halfway techie, please?

What's the difference between an external HDD and iHDD + enclosure, anyway? Any brand suggestions? I'm torn between Seagate and Western Digital (but only because I kept reading about those two) but if there's another alternative, let me know.

Will HDD work with DVD players with USB slot?

Any other things I should know about? Helpful hints, comments, suggestions? Free HDD?

Love,
Stupid non-techie person

I have the DUMB today. Can somebody please give the closest English translations for these words?
