1. Save your photos from your digital camera on it.  Take it with you into the cyber cafe and upload your camera to it.

2. Keep you collection of MP3 on it and swap onto a smaller MP3 player that runs on low batteries such as IPOD nano. 

Keep your collection A-Z mp3 on your big drive (PHD.) The ipod nano or other SD card based mp3 palyers holds 8gb so A-D collection. When your tired of A-D, delete it and then copy E-G from the PHD.
