As this is a small pc, the best way would be to get an external hard drive and caddy, and connect it via usb.

You can buy seperately, or with the hard drive and caddy. I think the 3.5" would be better as it is more durable- I find the 2.5" enclosures a bit flimsy, personally.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/USB3-0-External-enclosure-2-5-inch-aluminium/dp/B005GRBTV6/ref=sr_1_28?ie=UTF8&qid=1346672998&sr=8-28

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dynamode-inch-SATA-Storage-Caddie/dp/B0029BK64I/ref=sr_1_30?ie=UTF8&qid=1346673138&sr=8-30

HARD DRIVE WITH 2.5" CADDY

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seagate-Expansion-500GB-Portable-Drive/dp/B0084LZIB8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1346673274&sr=8-1

HARD DRIVE WITH 3.5" CADDY

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Toshiba-PA4232E-1HJ0-STOR-E-USB3-0-External/dp/B005CSVWC0/ref=sr_1_35?ie=UTF8&qid=1346673525&sr=8-35 

These are just examples- if you shop around you will find smaller/larger hard drives to suit your needs. Just plug into a usb port.
