Cost effective portable storage
What's the most efficient portable (external, USB-connected) data storage available? I've got a 128Mb USB 'pen drive', but sometimes this isn't big enough. So, what's the best way to store more?
|
External USB hard drives are quite cheap, size may be a problem though but for pound-per-meg you can't beat it.
You could use an iPod :) |
...except I don't have an iPod. It uses a 2.5" (laptop) HDD. Such HDDs are an option, I suppose, but I haven't found any nice enclosures/adapters. Well, I did... I found one for 45 USD from a US vendor, except they wanted another 45 USD for shipping to the UK!
Additional size isn't too much of a problem, as long as it's good value. What device(s) were you thinking about? |
For work I sometimes need to transfer about 60Gigs worth of data between machines that aren't connected, so I have a Lacie 120Gig external USB2.0 7200rpm drive which does the job just fine.

My phone uses secure digital cards.. I use that to transfer stuff between work and home... they get a bit pricey over 256mb though...
