Could build that HD into an external Firewire or USB 2.0 case. I have one WD 60gb I use just for the same purpose. I only have it on when I want to use it for a backup, so it gets alot less wear than a normal hard drive. Those external cases will cost you from 50-80$

Also - those external drives are fairly portable too...
