I ran in to the same problem (my 20mb drive was filling up; it's now
consistently 94% full).

I went for the Western Digital FileCard 30.  No problems at all, and I've had
it for about 1 year at this point.

I went for the 30mb and not the 20mb for a couple of reasons:

1. I knew I could fill 20mb fast. :-)

2. DOS (< 4.xx I guess) will handle partitions up to 32mb.  So, anything bigger
(like a 40mb or 60mb Plus hardcard for example) would have to be partitioned,
and I didn't want to do that.

3. The Western Digital FileCard 30 was *less* expensive than the Plus HardCard
20 (at the time) -- more bang for the buck, so to speak.
