But isn't 5.9k too much for a 100GB HDD? Or maybe its a 2.5inch drive, better suited for external use I guess...

But if portability is not "much" of an issue, it would be far better and more economical to get a maybe 300GB+ external 3.5inch HDD...

Samsung Sucks, Should avoid. Western Digital can be said to be nearly best amongst.

I recently got a Seagate 250GB Hard Disk (internal type) with an external casing for a total of 4.7k... Perhaps this may be a better option...
