Is there a external hardrive that has a usb port so you can plug something in w/o a computer or laptop?

No.
Unfortunately, in order to read data off a hard drive there has to be some kind of software to interface to.
There is no drive out there that has a built in interface for connecting devices without a computer.

Most external hard drives are either USB or firewire. Visit your local retailer and they will have USB hard drives, but you will need a computer somewhere to access the data

You will need a computer to send files to the hard drive. If you mean send music (i.e. from ipod) to the hard drive without a computer, then i don't think that is possible.. I haven't seen anything like that yet, but maybe there are!
Hope this helps & good luck,

If you want it to be a network storage, you can plug it to something like this. Everybody that is connected to the network will see that drive:
