    External HDD are very slow and sensitive to impacts. They fail very easily. DON'T trust them to store your data, only for backup.
    My suggestion is to buy a 128G SSD for Windows and programs and use the HDD for data.
    As you have a desktop, the best place for a HDD, is internally to the case. (Windows and programs SSD, Data HDD and Backup HDD).
