Portable Storage?

Posted by Cliff on from the movable-data dept.

An anonymous reader asks: "I need a portable storage solution, as I strongly desire to keep my personal stuff separate from my work stuff. In the past I have used some types of portable external hard drive (via USB connection), but I wasn't too pleased with the quality of the barebones models I found at Fry's. With so many new types of portable storage out (USB keys, 2.5" drives, full drives with enclosures, etc) I would appreciate some feedback from others using this type of device regarding what their favorite brand or model is. Remember: bigger storage is better, as is smaller size."

    Syquest is the BEST!

    Not many people have the drives anymore, making my data very secure.

    In fact when I find working drives I break them to insure my security...

    I, for one, am glad that the iPod advertisements have been moved out of the headlines and back into the comments where they belong.

    How can we continue to believe in a just universe and freedom to eat crackers if we have no ale?
