How many GBs are you talking about? I just load whatever video I want onto my 17" MBP. After I watch something, it gets deleted and, I get my HD space back. Later this summer, I'll be away and, have limited access to 110VAC. When I have access, I'll shift shows from the HD to a 64GB USB thumb drive. Said thumb drive will draw far less battery power when I'm boondocking. Same delete after viewing plan. I considered a separate external HD but right now I don't think I bother with the extra gear.
