Answer #1
portable & external are the same
You should get a Western Digital Passport, they are small and are powered via USB (so no need for a seperate power supply)

I think you can get more with $320, maybe like 1TB.

1 TB WD passports are decent.
There are many though,just don’t get the less expensive large (housing) externals,way too bulky.
