Arguably, SATA hard drives (perhaps of some cheaper variety, as
in "Green") may constitute a better solution, especially if
there's much more than a dozen of GiB's to copy.
Once the data is copied, a SATA drive (even if an internal one)
could be detached from the host and moved to safety.
Alternatively, if there's more than one location to manage (with
the possibility of a secure network file transfer), the data
from the location A may be backed up at B and vice versa, etc.
OTOH, for a few GiB's, I'd use DVD+R's. Should be safer against
electromagnetic impulses (not to mention humidity, etc.), too,
if one happens to be a survivalist.
