One of the best-kept secrets in the industry (so I'm only sharin' with m' 
friends :-) seems to be the "disk on module".  It is two chips on a card 
with an IDE connector.  It is true IDE (works with linux, your BIOS, and 
presumably, your PIC) and the wear leveling is built in.  We buy single 
board computers with the DiskOnChip socket and every one of them goes out 
the door with the socket empty.  That's how much I like the module.

For just storing data, a flash memory chip by itself isn't all that hard to 
program.
