The drive in the MotivePC is a notebook drive - more resilient to vibration
than a standard desktop drive. My USB drive is a 2.5" Laptop H/D and
installed in a portable USB 2.0 case (you can buy the cases for about $30 -
comes with enclosure & cable - you can hold the drive enclosure in your
palm..it's not very big at all). You can get a 100GB 2.5" drive (Toshiba)
for about $200.
I use my USB drive for work and home (transfer files), MP3's, portable
videos, and applications.

That's an interesting idea. I'm assuming it's a hard drive, as I've never
seen a solid-state device that large. Are you using a laptop drive? I
would have thought there would have been issues with vibration or impact
shock while driving, apparently they're more resilient than I thought.
