I don't know if I can help you with everything but...I am using this little device now days that plugs into a usb port. It's a mini- drive for storage only. I do not know the proper term for it, but mine is called an attache'.
I store all of my pics on them, and it keeps my computer running smoother with less to bog it down. They are removable and really small and come with a string to wear around your neck to take them places and use on other's computers. Really neat little gadget.
Prices are usually from $30 - $100 depending on GB storage.
I have a thousand pics on this one: |
