    I don't know how difficult it is, but you might be able to find a used Sony E series drive on eBay inexpensively. I'd poke around the Sony forum for more details. Otherwise, external drives on eBay are fairly cheap. A desktop drive will offer you faster write times if you care.

    All you need for the hard drive is an external enclosure with a USB connector.
