You can own as many as you can afford. The only restriction to the amount of simultaneously connected drives to your computer are the free USB or Firewire ports. But you can always buy a USB hub to make more free ports.
When choosing an external hard drive first consider how much capacity you are going to need. Generally a 1 terabyte external hard drive is more than enough space for the average consumer. Also check which type of connectivity the external hard drive uses. USB 2.0 is the usual standard, some hard drives can connect via Firewire (if your computer has the port) which is generally faster than USB. It's also wise to choose an external hard drive with some sort of warranty as some can unfortunately be defective, so it pays to have a warranty handy.
This depends on how much money you are willing to spend on an external hard drive. Some external hard drives can have storage of 500 GB, or even up to 1 TB.
A TB external hard drive means that the storage capacity of the particular hard drive is equal to 1 TB or terabyte. A terabyte is equal to 1,000 gigabytes or GB.

No the Drive allows for only a single disc
The average prices of a 1 TB external hard drive are from $70 or so up to over $1,000, for more specialized models. The average buyer will only have to pay $70-$120 for a good home use model.
A 1TB drive has aprox. 1000GB of memory. So 1TB has 250GB more memory than any 750GB drive.
It depends on the model you buy. I've seen models that hold 1 TB (TB is a Terabyte, which is a 1000 gigabytes). You can easily find other models that hold about 800 GB, especially at Future Shop. Obviously, the models that hold more will cost more, which adds up to about $120.00 if on sale (I saw a 1 TB model at Future Shop that costs this on Boxing Day, meaning it would probably be like $160.00-$200.00 without a sale).

External hard drive prices vary depending on the size on the hard drive you want to purchase. The more storage space on the drive, the higher the price will be. They can be anywhere from $30 to $200.
It depends on what type of computer you have, but generally, yes. If you have a desktop computer and it has a single hard drive, then more than likely it has a second slot inside where you can add a second hard drive. There will already be an IDE cable inside that allows you to hook the second hard drive up to your computer. If you have a laptop, then you probably can't add a second internal hard drive because there is not room in the case. However, you can add an external hard drive. These are small self-contained units that connect to your computer with a USB cable and allow you to store additional information.
