I did a little experimenting and found that the 8Gb
hard drive from the Travelstar E external housing can
be removed and put into an external USB hard drive
adapter. That's handy and more rugged, no short cable
or fragile PCMCIA card to deal with if you have USB. I
got a generic external housing from ebay for about
$35.00 although Frys sells them too. The drive is a
rather tight fit and the case won't quite close all
the way on mine because there is a dip molded into the
top of the cover. It would probably fit all the way on
if the dip was filed off on the inside. The backup
software on the hard drive is still accessable but I
didn't try it to see if it would work over the USB
connection or not.
