If you're only going to use it for backups and for files you don't need to carry around with you, I'd say external. Laptop  hard drives are much more expensive than the regular ones that fit in an external case.

You don't need _any_ OS on the external drive unless you want to be able to boot from it. It should be formatted HFS+ unless you're planning to use it on a Windows or Linux machine as well!

Re: "0s 9.2.8": I haven't come across any version of OS 9 beyond 9.2.2. Have I just been sleeping, or is this an error?
