Mojo Pack and portable hard drive query

So things being what they are, I failed to noticed an article in PCGamer two months ago until I was reading it on the toilet.
Mojopack is a program that lets you copy your hard drive to a portable drive and use that portable drive as the base hard drive at another computer.
For me this seems like a solution to having only a 70gig hard drive with lots of work related photos and video and wanting to play big games. I start this thread in hopes of gathering information from other forumers to see how well this program works and if the $200 I would spend on a portable drive and this program would be well worth it.
edit: and after seeing how cheap they are on newegg, anyone recommend a brand or model?

from the wiki wrote:To initially setup the MojoPac device, the user runs the installer and selects a USB device attached to the system. Once MojoPac is installed, it creates an executable in the root of that device along with an autorun file that gives the user the option of starting the MojoPac environment automatically when the device is plugged in. Once this application is started, a new Windows Desktop (with its own wallpaper, icons, shell, etc.) is started up in the virtualized MojoPac environment. Any application that runs inside this environment runs off the USB device without affecting the filesystem of the host. A user installs most applications (including Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop, Firefox) on the portable storage device by simply running the installer inside this environment. The user can switch between the host environment and the MojoPac environment by using the MojoBar at the top of the screen. Once the user is done with the applications, he just exits out of MojoPac and ejects the USB device.
To run the applications on a different computer, the user does not need to reinstall the application. The user can plug the portable storage device into any Windows XP computer. All the user's settings, applications, and documents function the same irrespective of which computer the portable storage device is connected to. The computer does not need any special applications or drivers installed to use MojoPac.
When the portable storage device is disconnected from the computer, there are no traces left behind on the computer.
