32GB or More PCMCIA (PC Card) Flash Drive?



Hi all. I got 2 laptops, one for home, one for work and travel. I also got
a desktop which I use occasionally. And I am getting tired keeping track of
files. So, I had an idea, what if I get a flash drive and carry my personal
folder on that.

USB drives are out of the question because I will, I know it, snap off the
thing in the USB port. So instead I am looking at a PCMCIA (PC Card) or CF
Flash Cards instead. It's perfect because you can just slide them into any
laptop that has a PCMCIA slot, most still do, and it's flush with the
laptop, does not stick out, and that port has high access speeds.

With that in mind I spent about 2 hours on google looking for a PC Card
with 32GB or more of storage. But I can not find one. Can any one point me
in the right directions, they must have them.

Alternatively I looked at CF cards. They sell 32GB cards on ebay for about
150$. Has any one used them before? I was looking for a PC Card because
they are bigger, thus would have less dance memory and less failure
possibilities, but a CF card would work just as well, if it is reliable.

Has any one used the 32GB CF cards from ebay, are they reliable?
