Come to think of it a PC runs off of 12v DC and car accessories run off 12v DC. I've run car accessories off a PC power supply before... So I'm thinking running the HD off the car might not require an inverter if it's hooked up right. That may be worth finding an old HD laying around to find out.

Get the firefly portable hard drives, they're good quality and can be found cheap if you shop around.
I found this one on ebay for $63 shipped.
