VPN you say...

OpenVPN (or Hamachi) and you can map drives from anywhere so long as you have a semi-reliable internet connection. Just turn off saving every season, and your game never even knows it is running over the internet.

I played DF on a SDD lappy for years. No noticable difference. It's all about the CPU. The only times it was faster was saving/loading games, but that's hardly the bottleneck of DF.

I have literally gone through about 6 or 7 USB drives, I have never owned one for more than two weeks... I usually either leave them in PCs, wash them in my jeans or lose them...

It shouldn't matter what drive you have. It only ever accesses the drive when you first start the game and when you save or load a fortress. Most of the game time is spent with no drive access at all.

You should get a keychain flash drive. I have a really nice high end one (32gb) that's only 1 inch long and uniformly as think as the USB slot, so it's less bulky than my housekey.

Tried that, when I left it in the PC I also lost my keys

I was promised quantum computing by 2010! Science has lied to us!

How long ago were you promised this? http://xkcd.com/678/
