You can buy a internal drive and enclosure and put them together, or you can just buy an external HD.

StretchR is right.

then just make sure it's formatted FAT32 if you pan on using it with your mac AND a windows pc. but if it'll never see a windows machine, it can be formatted HFS.

note: you can do this yourself with OS X's disk utility.
