Honestly though, I'd just get a bunch of memory cards, even with those gigantic 5D2 files. On your honeymoon I doubt you'll want to be telling your new wife "oh hold on, let me just transfer over all of these gigabytes and reformat my card, be right there!" Plus CF cards are more durable than anything with moving parts.
edit: You can borrow the drive if you want, FWIW. I never use it except when I'm traveling.

Does it really take that much time to transfer files and reformat a CF card? I transfer 4G at a time and it takes me a total of 3 minutes for the transfer and reformat. Plus, I can fit the reader in my pocket. It isn't all that hard, especially if you are carrying a camera and a couple lenses around with you as you travel. It's the size of an Ipod.
