An external HD hard drive is the same as Hard disk on your laptop or PC. You get the smallest, which looks like a passport that does not need a power supply, only USB cable. And the price varies as per company and size. What is your configuration ???? Please do mention the same.

There are no thing as such as exact specification for an external hard disk other then these stuff :
Storage Capacity [in GBs]
Drive Speed [in RPM or GB/s]
Power Specification [USB or External]
This is it, All the External Hard disk works with all those computers which has support for USB port. I hope this is what you are looking for...

Hi Friend,

I don't think is there any of specific specification required to use the External Hard disk. The only one requirement is USB port for connecting External Hard disk to computer. According to me 'Transcend Mobile Portable 320GB Hard Drive Disk' is the best External Hard disk. And I am having the same. This external hard disk is available at the price of Rs. 3,299.
