why dont u get an external HDD.... if u dont already have one...

40Gb for 4000/- is not bad...
dont get a 3.5" HDD it's big, a 2.5" is quite handy

if u have one... then get a 256Mb pen drive... transfer ur large files in the HDD

External HDD will be better but not Handy...
So again an doubt due u need small compact device or a book like device.

I have Kingston 1GB pen drive which I purchased for 3500 bucks, 3 months back.
I will suggest this only as it is a quality product and comes with a gr8 5 yr warranty.

Completely agree with kniwor! even i was planning for the pen drive, but found external hdd, a much better option to go for.
Got one with WD 40GB with 7200 rpm. for 4200 bucks. Pretty cool workability.
But even if you want to go for Pen drive ,then go for MSI pen drive,with mp3 player.
Its different because, you can share your memory with the mmc and rs-mmc slots!!!
apart from it, look out for Kingston or iball.
even gemini is offereing some good solutions.

And by the way, dont go with anything less than 1GB.
