I'm moving over to Jeddah, KSA, for a teaching post and would like to take my laptop, spare hard drive and a range of USB sticks on which I store lesson plans, resources etc...  I've searched online to find out if this will  be a problem and haven't found anything.  Does anyone know if it is possible to take over electronic materials without a problem?

No, it won't be an issue at all.

But if they see lots of hard drives, they'll probably ask you what's on it and you just inform them of the content.

Only explicit content is prohibited to bring to Saudi Arabia, everything else's ok
