okay i looked around on the forums for about 10 mins for somthing on this and couldn't find anything that answered my question directly, so if there is a topic on this already just point me to it.
i was looking at getting an external hard drive, at first i was looking at getting just a package, but then i thought jeeze i can prolly get just the components for cheeper.
anyways my question was if you buy just an external enclosure and a hard drive, how would you go about formatting the hard drive so that it would be able to be moved from computer to computer easily.
im new to the computer building scene so please dont rip on me if this is common knowlege.
and if you curious these are the components i picked out:
