another cost effective idea is buy a 3.5" external enclosure which converts ac power to molex and ide signal to firewire or usb
you can then buy cheap, large, ide hard drives and plug them into the external box
im not sure how easy it is to swap but it is certainly a good sight cheaper than buying external drives
also if you dont want to swap, you can get many of those boxes (they are like $30 ebay)
