Hello:
    An external drive that uses USB is the cheapest, though not the fastest
option. As long as you don't want to run Quake on the drive, USB ought to
suit your needs.
    SCSI and Firewire would be much faster than USB. However, both will
require an appropriate card to operate. If you don't have the card already,
you'll have to include that in your budget.

regards,
            bruce
