That's a lot of CD games to rip...
Periodically I go through the exercise of tallying up the total theoretical storage space that the Pyra could have WITHOUT any external cables or devices hanging off of it. I.e. maximum storage while still portable and 'pocketable'.
The largest SD cards have been static for a long time now at 512GB. MicroSD is stuck at 200GB. I suspect that these will eventually move up, but right now the demand for the components needed is more in SSD devices.
So... using this for the USB 2.0 ports too: http://www.amazon.com/elago-Mobile-microSDHC-Memory-Reader/dp/B002HGFKR8
2 SD slots at 512GB each
1 internal microSD at 200GB
2 microSD in USB 2.0 ports at 200GB each
Total: 1624 GB or 1.6TB of local, mobile, battery run, pocketable, no cables or extended dongles.
Someone do it just so that ED can advertise that it -can- do it.

Thank you, Dr. Malcolm.
We were so preoccupied with whether or not we could, we didn't stop to think if we should!
Didn't Victorinox produce 1TB usb drives? Also, I think the Pyra has an otg port? You can get OTG flash drives.
There are cableless OTG flash drives. Though I am unsure if they meet your arbitrary requirements.Didn't Victorinox produce 1TB usb drives? Also, I think the Pyra has an otg port? You can get OTG flash drives.
All of those are physically too large to fit my criteria. The sum-device with all storage plugged in must be truly portable (no cables) and still fit in my pants pocket. Those 1TB USB drives are gigantic, and OTG flash drivers require cables.
I have a couple of the elago microSD to USB adapters. They only protrude from the Pandora by about 5mm, which still fits into my somewhat arbitrary requirements.
If the solution allowed it to sit on a desk, just use a DASD RAID tower and storage=money.
Very cool - one of those microUSB to USB right angle options plus a tiny microSD USB adapter could raise the theoretical mobile storage on a Pyra by another 200GB and still be pocketable.

Or OTG adapters that aren't cables and would be ideal. Depending on the size of the pyra and positioning of the port you might find something.
