As far as removeable drives go, I'd recommend your first investigation should be what the printer's got, unless it's old technology. Nothing works better than something compatible! I have still got a 270Mb Syquest, but more often use a CDR. The advantage of the CDR is that it is easy to transport, relatively inert to damage and dropping, and absolutely universal. I can fit a 40-page colour magazine including all CMYK scans on one CDR, with a "burn" time of about 45 mins at 2x. Also, when I get the CDR back, I have an instant archive of the job that is easily retrievable (as opposed to, say, tape). The price of CDRs is so low now they are virtually a zero cost disposable item when taken in the context of a complete print job.
