you can simply buy a memory stick which actualy is the smallest portable memory device, but there is nothing more then 8 GB.

Your out of luck on the same drive space, unless you can fork out the money for a solid state drive. (M-systems, etc.)

I think you can find an external hard drive that will suit your needs. Try going to the links for major manufacturers such as Maxtor, Western Digital, or Seagate, and then check for prices on the web for whichever one you think will do the job. Good luck.

I agree. External hard drives are the way to go. Make sure you pick one that is 7200rpm and USB connectivity. Here's a link to the external hard drives at Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/ProductSort/SubCategory.asp?SubCategory=414
