well, i just want something small that I can carry around with me and load all my movies on so I dont have to eat up my internal hard drive space (it's going quick!!).

What do you guys recommend? trying to keep it under $100.00, that's all.

any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks :)

For under 100 bucks, you won't get anything small with high capacity. Small + high capacity = iPod :)

I'd recommend 4GB Flash MEmory or if you need more you can get pretty expensive LaCie drives.

You gotta choose: Size or capacity.

There's actually a fairly cheap LaCie Rugged drive I saw at the Apple store the other day, it holds a LOT, especially for it's size. Plus, it looks pretty darn cool.
