Apple was selling Rodine drives initially, and then switched to MicroScience.
I believe that Apple is using Quantum drives in the Mac II (at least for
the 80 Meg drive).  Sorry, no model no.   For the SE you do need a 3.5" drive.

Mirror Technologies sells 20s and (I believe) 40s for the SE.  They also
sell 50's and 80's for the MacII.

If you want to have an internal drive for portability, go internal.  
Theoretically an internal drive might be less epensive 'cause you aren't
paying for a power supply and case.  Then again, 3.5" drives cost a little
more than 5.25" drives...
