Other than Apple Mac laptops, few current laptops have connectors for firewire or eSata. PC cards slots are not common either.
The simplest storage solution might be to find a laptop with a 1 TB internal drive or a 500 GB drive. If your music collection fits.
There are practical things to learn about computer audio and work to be done getting the right software and ripping your music collection. If you experiment with the gear you already own before you buy expensive gear such as a DAC, you will make better choices and be happier with the result. The same applies to ripping CDs. Learn how the process works and how you want to browse / search your music collection before you plunge in ripping a lot of CDs.
