The 2,5" hard drives come up to 300 GB sizes now. In a year they should be coming to 500 GB... before that, maybe getting a normal size but light model that would have the 500 GB may be better (and sure cheaper) option than getting 2 x 250 GB or 2 x 300 GB mini portable HDs.

LaCie has a "little big" disk which should do what you want. Ain't cheap, though, as it houses two 250 GB drives. -> http://www.lacie.com/us/products/product.htm?pid=11037
