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."

    A nice 20 GB firewire drive for $200, very small form factor, oh, and its also an MP3 player...

    I won't be the first (or last) to say it, but iPods are nice. Big hard drives on a small piece of equipment, and you get to listen to music as well. (Although they still don't support ogg.)

    You didn't mention anything about price, so cruising the sites I found this today:

    Sony 2GB memory stick

    It is $700, as it is bleeding edge, but should fit the bill nicely and is TINY.
