As you have said, u don't need to do too much and want to spend less, i feel it should be perfectly ok for you to get a 256 MB pen-drive. \n\nA 256 MB drive should be inexpensive enough and you can do most of your work with it. It will be able to store few hundred good quality photos, or thousands of documents or a combination of various types of data. \n\nTo get an estimate of memory, just right click any file that you feel is representative of your need, and see its properties. It will be shown (in most of the cases) in some KB or may be few MB. So you can have an idea as to how much you really need. \n\nHope this info is useful to you.

short answer will be use a flash device. It requires no power, has no moving parts and as long as you have access to a USB port, it will be available.\n\nSecond option will be a HD, if kept stored in a safe environment, you wont have to worry about the information, giving you more space than the flash drive.\n\nThose are the expensive choices.\n\nThe way i do it is using incremental backups, i started with a cd holding pictures and documents, that i keep on my hard drive. Every time i increase  significantly my documents, i make another backup.\n\nI dont dispose of all the old backups so i have at least three disks (cd or dvd) with my documents, and the hd where i keep the files.

20... thats 2^20...1048576 bytes...some companies say 1,000,000 bytes to make their hardrives/flash memory seem bigger but 1048576 or 2^20 is technically the most accurate answer...

1 GB is 1024 MB or 1024000 KB.\n512 MB is 512 MB or 512000 KB. \n\nAs for usb flash drives, these storages are rounded and since the flash drives carry their own internal hidden software, keep in mind that about 20 MB is unavailable for your use.

https://www.web-a-file.com/ - Have a look at this, but this provides only 40 MB storage space in the free version...\nhttps://www.streamload.com/ - Have a look at this, I like it !\nhttp://www.xdrive.com/ - You can try it for free and buy it if you like.\nI think using GMail drive is the best.\nGoogle it and download Google Gmail Drive Shell Extension and install it. You need a google gmail account. If you do not have a gmail account, I would be glad to send you an invite if you mention your email address !

Perhaps you could give him a usb drive (thumb drive) so he can save his class notes on any available computer and always have them available, without toting a lot of extra weight.  Many are on sale now from $20.00 (256 MB) and up.

It depends on what you are going to use it for.  I would suggest a minimum 512MB.  1gb and higher are still a little on the pricey side.  Again if it is to store just word documents and stuff then 512 will be fine.  I use my 512 to keep programs(adaware, firefox, ...) I need when I fix computers.

You will run out of room in about 2 years. Get a 120G or higher now. \n\nI have over 2500 MP3's and tons of programs on my 120G, and it's just over half full.\n\nDon't forget to make frequent backup's of all your stuff. Hard drives do crash. \n\nI've created a folder just for stuff I want to keep. Every month my stuff (Outlook info, address book, etc.) gets backed-up to this folder. Every six months I burn this folder to several DVD-RW's. I use RW's so I can rotate them.

Flash is expensive. You can get a 300gig drive where I am for $150. \nAt $35 per 2 gig, the same flash capacity would cost over 5000 bucks.\n\nAlso, flash has an endurance problem. You can only erase/write to it so many times before it wears out (reading is no problem).  There are some ways to extend the life, but they add to the cost.\n\nIt would be helpful of your 100gig "flash drive" was accessible the same as regular memory to the OS. That would make for lightning-quick retrieval.\n\nBy the way, nothing stops you from using a flash stick as a regular drive right now. Two gig is enough room to store all of Office, several games, and a schwack of music.

I assume you mean that your laptop is almost out of disk space, not memory.\n\nThere are many external hard drives that will plug into the USB port on your laptop and will store a lot of music.  I have purchased some that hold 250GB of storage for $129.  They are perfect for that type of application.  Just make sure that your laptop has USB ports (preferably USB 2.0).  Unless it is more than 5 years old, you should be fine.

Use an enteractive media disk. Have you ever heard about Microsoft Encarta? It's an encyclopedia on disk. That helps.

A five minute movie with sound and basic transitions will require around 1.5 to 3 gb of space

Nothing free...You can purchase a 100/160 or 250 gig internal or external drive for around $100.00 on sale...much better solution and far more security.
