If it is just a normal external hard drive then yes you can move it to a different PC just as you would with a pen drive.

Hi. Most external drives use USB, so yes you can. The drive is more likely to be damaged in transit though and is heavier.

i guess they do but they are not that easy to carry on and they may take longer to be recognized by windows as a storage device, i have had some troubles installing them on windows vista and windows server 2003
