Usually the external hard drives come with casing which has power supply cord and output cable that can be connected to the computer via USB port. Just plug in the power cord and put the USB cable into your notebook or desktop. Your computer will automatically recognize the hard drive and show it as another (internal) hard drive of your computer. It is so simple.

Install the driver before you connect the external HD. Hopefully your device came with an install CD.
If not, you may have to download.
If your PC is new, it may have the driver on the HD.
After you install it, plug it in to the power supply and connect it to the USB port. Your PC will say "new hardware detected." It will search for the driver and install.
After that, use it as you would an old floppy.

hello
do not buy a USB hard drive;it is expensive.just buy an internal hard drive but do not install it inside your computer.buy a converter cable.
one end of the cable is connected to the port at the back of your internal hard and the other end of the cable is connected to USB port of your computer.
you should also buy a power converter.
good luck

Plug in the power, plug in the usb, and your computer will install it. Some come with an install cd, and some need to be formatted. In any case, plug it in.

sure, there are exterior not uncomplicated disk enclosures accessible in the marketplace, with USB or FireWire interfaces, that you could use to employ your inner not uncomplicated disk as an exterior one.
