Both external USB Harddisks and large (1-2GB) USB keys are very cheap at 
the moment. As far as I know the USB (but make sure it's 2.0) MSD (Mass 
Storage Device) standard is now pretty well understood and works fine 
with current OS/2-eCS drivers.

So I'd be surprised if you found you had problems - there's no 
Gaurentees in the IT world however.
