Just to add my 2p worth, I recently purchase a Dynamode usb2 2.5" hard
drive caddie, it works extremely well and is dirt cheap!

It is basically a nice aluminum box with a circuit board that plugs on
to any 2.5" hard drive you have laying around, plug it into a usb
socket and you have lots of easy to move around disk space. (Takes all
the power it needs from the usb socket, no drivers required)

Will take a max capacity of a 80gb drive which is perfect for now. ;) 


My collection comes in at about 55gb so this is a very cheap and
efficient storage method.  I now have 3 backups of my pictures and
mp3s,  and because you can easily remove the hard drive and put a new
one in it, I store the hard drives one in my car and one in the office.
2.5" 80Gb hard drives are about £30 each :)

I was thinking of all kinds of expensive backup solutions, but now I
will stick with my Maxtor Shared Storage NAS and use these to backup my
data. :)

There is also a 3.5" caddie version and everyone has at least a few
hard drives laying about!

I guess you could also buy two and have 80gb in each and have a backup
capacity of 160gb!
