How much data, how fast, how long do you have to keep it?

the speed, doesn matters, cause is not recolected on the fly
the data: files containing data log
to the keep it, SD, is the way, because the "user" have to collect conecting the "module" via USB to read it.

thanks

The speed can matter if you can't write it to the storage medium faster than you can read it off "the sensors" (whatever they may be).

mmmm, then fast...

An easy way is Openlog. It log up to 115200 baud via serial port. See here (SparkFun OpenLog - DEV-13712 - SparkFun Electronics) and the homepage of Openlog here http://wiki.github.com/nseidle/OpenLog/
