Hi, I have a stack of firewire disks - very cheap per GB but don't know how reliable they are. However, I've never had one fail, and I don't know a better (cheaper) way of having a couple of TB on one machine, and easily movable to another machine... (e.g. a synchrotron) Processing data straight from DVD hurts - the read time is dreadfully slow. Firewire is almost as good as locally attached disk. The only problem I find with firewire on Linux is that the only file system which has decent performance is FAT32, which is not a great system but not too bad for large images. If anyone knows how to get decent performance (r/w) with a POSIX file system I'm all ears!

Tape is slow and cumbersome. Other options would be (1) dedictated hard disks / RAID, and (2) DVDs (which will probably be replaced by BluRays or like within the next year or two).
