Why is he discounting external hard drives? They will hold MUCH more than any thumb drive would and can support a wide variety of connections types/speeds. I would consider a mybook etc to be very portable. Another option would be to transport the data to a laptop and take that home and upload it from there. Or get a big IPOD and load to that. I can hold any data type not just music. Though all these ideas really are just external hard drives in different packaging.
