Look for Roadstor (spelling correct) on eBay. Also Apacer CP200.

Probably not without the laptop, mind you an older one secondhand can be had
pretty cheaply.

Why don't you want to use 2.5" drives devices - these devices cost very
little.

Alfred, I was under the impression, apparently a wrong one, that they
were expensive. Could you recommend a unit or product, one available
in the USA? Thanks.

I never saw such a beast, probably because it would weight 4 times
more than with a 2.5 inch drive, and would need a beefy power supply.

The best at the moment seems to be this one:
http://www.compactdrive.com/

The PDX70x (not the predecessor PDX7), which they sell for $150 without
HDD and $211 with a 40GB HDD, or $272 with a 80GB HDD.

I use an X-drive Pro which uses a laptop hard drive. I have one with a 40
gig hdd in it and have used it whilst hiking and nothing has gone wrong.

The absolute cheapest way is to burn them on a cd in the nearest lab.At
least here, this is available.

Get yourself an Apacer Disc Steno
http://www.apacer.com/apacer_english/product_html/disc_...

I bought a CP100 last year and have been very satisfied with it.
There are portable hard-drives too out there but at least with the Steno
you have the option of making a 2nd copy.
