I repurposed my portable USB drive for other things at home. I now keep
all the distros on my Thinkpad. They total about 100 GB. I have a 32 GB
USB stick that we can use to transfer, or over the network. 

I do have a 200 GB hard drive that I put into my ancient rescued HP
(tenants left it behind). It has Lubuntu on it, with 194 GB free space.
I need to get some of my hairs cut today, and the barbershop is not too
far from Free Geek. I could stop by and pick up another hard drive.
IIRC a 250 GB drive runs about $50. Or maybe something from a <gasp>
retail store? I'll pick up the tab for a bigger hard drive if you think
it would be useful.
