Cheap external USB 3.0 HDD - 2.5", 1GB.
MQ01ABD100 HDD.
VIA Labs VL711S USB to SATA bridge.
Pros:
- cheap (~$50 in 2015 or so)
- still works (albeit lightly used)
Cons:
- not easy to open without scratching
- USB connector is very flimsy, sooner or later it would break (probably sooner)
- it is quite slow - although I'm using it with USB 2.0 I've never seen writing faster than 15 MB/s - it is easily outperformed by MX-LX pendrive
- some say that this particular HDD is slow when writing small files: https://www.myce.com/review/toshiba-1tb-2-5-sata-hdd-review-model-mq01abd100-64737/real-world-tests-5/
