Cool. 

I guess my next question is, let's say I use Windows explorer to copy my entire C drive to this new drive. If my current hard drive fails, can I just plug in my new one and have it boot up and everything and use it until I get a replacement internal drive?

No, it isn't that simple. You shouldn't back up the whole drive; only your documents, pictures, music, videos - that kind of thing. Make sure you have your license codes written down for any software you own that is not included with Windows.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
