Just looking for the cheapest option for data that will either fit in a 2.5" drive bay or squirreled away in a small space.

Wasn't sure if USB sticks would be a real option, or just 2.5" hdd (spinning disks baby!).

Just gonna be a movie repository (or suppository depending on which Pollie you ask).

  Those 2tb portable drives… Will they need external power? I don't want anything that requires another power point.

        @CMH: The GGs had a Seagate 2TB Expansion Portable HDD $70.40 C&C (or + Postage) a month ago during this ebay deal.
        
        that price will definitely pop again shortly.
        
        like tomorrow but you have to be in NSW.
