IMHO you are over thinking this. The drive is pretty much ready to go. Way back, I put old (I upgraded the size) Laptop drives into a USB caddy. But off the shelf drives have becom reasonable (if you shop a bit. The big A is not always best, but I also watch out for cheapos. WD drives are decent)
I use some of the drives for recording (from antenna, 4-tuner HDHomeRun). Going with bigger allocation units is make or break between getting a corrupted video and a good one when recording multiple shows.

Funnily enough, nowadays USB HDDs actually tend to be cheaper than their internal counterparts.
