There are large capacity 2.5" drives (12 gig. and beyond) avaiable that could handle all that and more on one drive. You might want to confirm that you can off load the data on to a hard disk and have it still work (just in case there is any nasty copy protection) before investing your time and money. There also may be OS limitations on drive size (not sure as I do not run windows) that you may want to check in out in advance.

Often the cpu also has a fair amount of I/O sometimes even including vidio. Check http://pc104.org/ and you can look around at what different manufactures offer. Also look around any or many of the wearble sites that various universities (MIT and others) and wearable users have put up where you will be able to read what we do for power and displays. Once you have had a look around and have a better idea what you want to build, by all means come back and ask questions. Happy hunting! Greg -- Greg Priest-Dorman
