Check out this thread > Click Here < (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=448731). He's selling a 40gb 2.5" with a USB enclosure for $25 shipped. That's a very good price!

How small? There are several places I've recently seen small 12GB drives.

I saw them at Best Buy, Circuit City, Wal*Mart, KMart, Sears... pretty much anywhere with an electronics department. They are only about the size of a pack of cards.

Does anyone want to sell a LACIE drive?

I have a LACIE 2.0 enclosure(No Drive) for a 3.5" HDD. Can include the power adapter and USB cable. I took the drive out and installed it into one of my WD Firewire enclosures. Don't know what to charge for it if you want it.

I also have a 30GB HDD from one of my ibooks I'm not using. it's a 2.5" drive but you will need to find an enclosure for it though.
