There's the rub. I'd prefer to get by without powering it.
well you do need some power for thumbdrives, presumably a lot less than for
a spinning disk
but once you start carting around batteries and fumbling with weird hubs
another option sounds appealing — a cheap netbook; for example, without
doing any serious research i came up with the ASUS K200MA — 3lbs., 11.6"
screen, 500GB, SD slot
i don't know squat about Windows netbooks (for one, i'd be tempted to put in
an SSD and install Linux), but at $280 it seems like it might be a good
value as a minimal photo backup/review station
