If your laptop supports booting from USB, then you can get an 8gb thumb drive for less than $90.
Takes less space, no shock problems, removable, and takes less power and generates no heat. Then you can just mount the cable into the glove box or anywhere else accessible and can remove it to take it into the house, eliminating the need for wireless for the time-being. Get two, and you can swap OS's depending on your needs. :-) Sorry...just being a nerd with your money.
But, seriously, for the $, I would stay away from the HDD if your laptop donor will boot from USB.
