Default 20GB External HDD?

Does anyone know of a good USB storage device, around 20GB, that I can dump all of my 10+ GB Stepmania and Be-Pachi on? My 40GB computer is at least 7 years old and I don't want to lose all of that. I looked up external hard drive on bestbuy and the smallest one was like 250GB, I don't need that much!

I have a 60GB external drive that I have yet to fill completely. You should look for one of those Western Digital Passport drives that don't require external power. They're slightly smaller than DS Lites and survive more abuse than you would ever hope it would.

Also, you can never have too much space. I say get the cheapest drive of a good brand and be happy with what it has.

if you're looking for something smaller (in storage space and physical size) a laptop hard drive in a hard drive enclosure might work out for you

again, the stuff isn't too expensive so you might as well get that 250gb one

also a quick froogle search gets you this: http://www.nextdaypc.com/main/produc...inid=ND0130014

Newegg.com - Western Digital Passport WDXMS1200TN 120GB 5400 RPM USB 2.0 External Hard Drive - Retail

A year or two ago I got a drive half this size at the same price. What did you say your price range is?

I found a WD drive on BestBuy, I think I may go with one of these. Thanks Excel. (You too ranatalus)
