I strongly recommend not to use HD as archive. Short term backup is fine, but HD has no reliable shelf life. It rather last longer if you let it spin 24/7 (except WesternDigital which sucks more power than any other kind).
I beg to differ. In my opinion a dedicated, external backup HD (which is left off most of the time) is _much_ safer than any CD-R backup.

If, as I do, you're burning off CD-Rs and collecting them off-site, then they're fine. And as for long-term viability, you can always just copy them onto a new disc once in a while - and if you're making sequential copies, then being able to go back to last year's discs isn't important when you've also got yesterday's. I really can't see how this can be made either easier or safer by carting numerous portable hard drives around.
