Cheap portable HDD?

[myke]

Hi hi ...

Needing a portable HDD for my photos because my ext. HDD is upstairs and it needs power, I want to be able to take my photos with me.

I have over 8gig of photos so a memory stick is out the window.

Can anyone recommend/link me to some cheap portable HDD?

I've searched ebuyer, and comet..

Trying to see how cheap I can go ;)

can be USB or firewire 4/800 ;)

Well they do 16GB Memory sticks quite cheap (Under £20). They also do 32GB Memory Sticks but they're about £50, so not cheap but very small.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-External-Drive-Portable-Pocket/dp/B002XGWZVQ - £25, very portable, 30GBs
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/195290 - £30, portable, 80GBs :)

O i like that 80 gig one, that's around the price im willing to pay because im being a cheapo :p and 80 gig is about the right size I think, took about 12 gig of photos last year... and that was just from august time... so o.O

That looks like a pretty good deal. There was a blue one on amazon but it was about the same price with the case.
