Hard disk space - without changing primary hard-drive

Hello - new to this forum.

I am making use of an old Dell Latitude D630 at work while I decide what laptop to invest in next.  Unfortunately it only has a 80GB harddrive so I have almost run out of space immediately!  The machine is running well though with newly installed 4gb RAM so I'll stick with it for a while.

I don't want to go through the whole setup process again so don't want to install a new primary HDD.  I believe my options are therefore:

1. a new HDD in the media bay - cost of c£100...

2. a compact flash card in the pcmcia slot - 32gb costs about £40.00?

3. a similarly sized USB flash memory stick (which I would have to keep removing to fit laptop into case)

4. a portable HDD or SSD (which would of course be useful in the future with any other laptop I buy)

Just wondering if anyone has any particular advice on which route to go??

Thanks

Allen
