Ok I wanted to get a portable drive to use for installing my games to. I wanted to know the cons and pros of this. Or should I just get an internal HDD which I dont want. And if I do get the USB one should I make sure it has esata and use that instead of the usb?
 
Yes, make sure it at least has eSATA and use that. FireWire and USB are /horrible/ for anything save storage. You do not want to game off of an external unless it's eSATA, and even then you need to be very sure that the drive or enclosure you get has good eSATA performance -- they aren't all the same.

USB= crap, think MAX 24mbps if your lucky with a good USB controller in the enclosure.
