want to purchase external HDD with 1 TB storage

[rickenjus]

Guys I want to purchase a external HDD with 1 TB storage. I don't know much about computer hardware. I have a pc with dual core cpu , nowadays its making too much noise and has become slow(which I don't intend to upgrade, as I will be purchasing a laptop in few months). Will it effect to a much extent the read/write speed from HDD to pc and vice versa. Also what are the odds that there can be compatibility issues b/w pc and hdd or its hdd acts like any other usb device. ??

Can spend upto 4.5k.
