The larger drives are much better value for the money.
I also agree with the poster who said you should get a
large drive and partition it.
Why? The connectors for the hard drive are not meant
to be used anywhere near as often as something like
a PC Card connector. They will wear out if you swap
drives frequently. I'm not sure just how fast they might
fail, but just guessing, I'd say weekly is OK, daily
might be a bit much.
