Photos are usually best archived to DVD. But if you've got 200gb of archival photos it would take a month to burn all that.
Question 1: Is that entire 200G archival photos? I know you shoot huge raw files for a given project, but after you pick out a few keepers and save them as jpgs or something, then it's time to delete the bulk of the raw stuff. Otherwise, you may be a good candidate to early adopt blu-ray. Burners are maybe $300, blanks ~$15, and they can hold ~25gb. Never use the words "hard drive" and "archival" in the same sentence. Hard drives can and do fail suddenly and without warning.
