Per the thread title, I'm looking for a device that will offer me good capacity with a reasonable size. Probably something that would fit in my palm or slightly larger. A friend suggested a 128 MB pendrive but I want more than that. I've been eyeing some 40-60GB ones.

The main reasons for getting one are so I can make my rom hacking more portable around campus and take lots of music files with me. Does anyone know what to look for, what the good brands are, as well as what to avoid? (p.s. I'd probably grab anything over or equal to 2GB)

I also need it to be low hassle, i.e. requiring no drivers.

this has come out within the last month. Right now, this is state of the art in terms of compactness...

Verbatim introduces 2.1GB store and go HD

the 40-60GB still rely on 3.5" HDs

Damn that sounds pretty sweet. The size of a business card? I don't know if I need one that small. I've seen a drive online that was like 70X130X10 mm or so in dimension. That's not too shabby in my mind since it's extremely thin.

Thanks for the link though, if I run into $450 I'd probably buy it but I'm looking at more of a Christmas gift range, $99-$150 at most.
