Long time no see. Welcome back. :D

Internal HDD can be 2.5" or 3.5". 1TB cheap enough now and is plenty.
Can't advise on External HDD as never used one because I use NAS for PVR & Timeshit. Worth having a read of the solo2 based threads below about this but I think the general concensus is to install an internal.
If it helps I use an internal 2.5 220GB SSD in mine which I am sure I could use externally also via the right interface and without additional power requirements but again I have not seen the need to try to find out. I PVR to NAS but even so there enough space to run multiple images, store ipks, picons etc etc and still keep a dozen or so recorded movies on there as well if I wanted to.

Hope this has helped.

Thanks bro. I am maybe thinking of getting a western digital 1tb, maybe internal. In any case would that help me of not getting my flash memory getting full almost each month. Thanks. Since, I am running many addons on kodi and many addons come preinstalled with dirty donki custom images. thanks

It's an option if you can find one big enough for your needs.

If you opt for a traditional HDD then it can introduce lag on channel change if loading picons. To overcome this one can use a fast USB stick or like me an SSD.

Information like this is posted all over already and so easy to find which makes me wonder why you waste so much of our time with bullshit posts like these.
