Nice :)

I guess maybe the difference between a "designer for PVR" type drive and
a regular one is some kind of QoS thing like guaranteed minimum read and
write speeds.

After Clive was able to redo the partitions with it last night using gparted, I 
was able to see it on my system this morning, and then installed KDE Neon on 
it. This was vn 5.8 and it does have some problems, but I remember that it gave 
me problems when I tried it before, so I might get an updated  version. But I 
(we) have done what I wanted and got it working in a PC.

Thanks everyone.

a power brick I can bring if needed.

I might as well bring a USB/SATA adaptor, a power adaptor and a short
extension lead. The more the merrier!
