Whilst this isn't the common use: I'm a film director. I would very, very much like to be able to carry a backup of my life's work around on a memory stick.

We're getting there. Give me 500Gb in portable form and I'll be able to do it, at least for a while. But much less than that ain't doable.
- mistercow 14y agoI guess it depends on what you mean by "portable". You can pick up a 512GB SSD (~$350) and pop it in a USB 3.0 enclosure (~$30). That's not USB stick sized, but you can get it down to about 3" x 5" x 0.5" which is not too shabby. Or if you're crazy, you can get four 128GB sticks (~$450) and a USB 3.0 hub ($30) and set up a RAID.
- dholowiski 14y agoJust carry the bare drive, in an anti static bag. That's smaller than an iPhone.
- thenomad 14y agoHeh, I like the RAID idea. I want to be able to put it in my pocket - sadly a USB enclosed SSD is too large for that.
