But unfortunately this does not work on non-laptops (ie desktops). I'm looking for something portable, relatively cheap, approx 20GB that instantly works on any pc without the need of extra power. It seems current technology is not able to provide this yet... :( The only easy option I see (for my needs) is one of these external USB HD with build-in battery David was suggesting.
