I bought a little USB 2.0 external 2.5" HD enclosure a few weeks ago. I put an old 6Gig laptop drive I had from an old project that never worked. It's rather nice and lets me keep a portible backup of a lot of my stuff as well as the ability to transfer large things easily. Pretty speedy when plugged into a USB 2.0 port. It needs 2 open ports to work though (the second USB plug is just for power).

If she just wants something to store a backup or moveable version on a laptop, just invest in a USB thumbdrive, cheaper and far more universal (you won't be able to plug the PCMCIA HD into anything without a PCMCIA slot obviously). If she just needs more storage on the laptop, just buy a bigger HD for the thing.

i assume since you are talking pcmcia, you are using it for a laptop. when i had my laptop, i had a usb 2.0 case designed to hold a laptop hard drive. it was small enough to fit in a shirt pocket. i had a 40gig drive in it & used it & my laptop for my DJing gigs. total investment for the drive & enclosure was ~$250. i also used it to swap data from the desktop & laptop or share my music onto friends pc.
just a thought....
