Cost effective portable storage
What's the most efficient portable (external, USB-connected) data storage available? I've got a 128Mb USB 'pen drive', but sometimes this isn't big enough. So, what's the best way to store more?
- A card reader and compactflash cards?
- An IDE HDD with IDE/USB convertor cable? (large capacity but heavy and without a 'nice' enclosure)
- Another 'pen drive'?
- something else that I've not thought of?

...except I don't have an iPod. It uses a 2.5" (laptop) HDD. Such HDDs are an option, I suppose, but I haven't found any nice enclosures/adapters. Well, I did... I found one for 45 USD from a US vendor, except they wanted another 45 USD for shipping to the UK!
Additional size isn't too much of a problem, as long as it's good value. What device(s) were you thinking about?

For work I sometimes need to transfer about 60Gigs worth of data between machines that aren't connected, so I have a Lacie 120Gig external USB2.0 7200rpm drive which does the job just fine.
