I misunderstood. I see your point now, but I still see good alternatives. Use an external hard drive, easy excuse for having a large encrypted drive. Tell them

  Of course having an external hard drive works... as long as you're confident enough to lie well. Hopefully you paid cash, otherwise, they'll know when you bought it. That means no NewEgg. Damn. Then, you just need to be comfortable saying that you bought a 1TB hard drive, encrypted the whole thing (despite the obvious speed hit it'll take, which you know if you're smart enough to use TC), just to throw a few gigs of porn on it. Hopefully you have a wife or significant other, since no single guy is going to encrypt his porn. Not sure how women treat their porn stashes; it just has to be believable. Also, make sure you don't load the porn on all at once - that'll be very, very suspicious. It'll have to look like an organically-grown stash. Given all that, if you can lie well, you might be able to convince an investigator that you (as a suspect in something) have an innocent hard drive on your hands. And you should practice, because if the cops aren't convinced and can't force you to hand over the password (due to plausible deniability), you'll probably need to convince a jury.
