Portable Storage?

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."

    I've never bought USB keys/watches/butt-plugs or any other gadget they could stick a memory card into.

    I do however own a very large iPod and what's nice it it plays music. So I just put on my white ear-buds while I'm getting busy ripping off valuable client data to sell to my other "clients", The fools just think I'm just downloading from their MP-3 server.

    A USB keychain???
    That would be far too obvious.

    Besides, the one time some security guard did try to stop me on my way out, I just made like I couldn't hear him. Unfortunately for him he made the very grave mistake of laying a finger on me.
    That ill fated finger was quickly chopped off.

    Hahahahahahah

    But if you need to store more than 90KB of data, then I recommend setting up a VPN between your work computer and your home computer, without anybody in your company knowing about it. You can then offload all the company data to the safety of your own machine, and when everything fails at work, you can come to the rescue!

    because the ipod tends to corrupt data, especially when used in conjucntion with windows...my experiences with it were terrible, xp most likely to blame... plus apple might do somthing stupid and create an update that prevents already loaded non-music data from being read...that scared me until i did a soft reset...
