  I remember while I was at the Challenger shop at Tampines Interchange just now, I saw a 100GB external hard disk going for $150.
  
  The brand's Maxtor, I think.

  3.5 in, I guess. The whole thing was quite big.
  
  Anyway, if you're not going to bring it around with you, then size shouldn't be an issue.
