If you've got usb2, then use an external drive. Clean, painless, and easy to store in your firesafe when not in use. You can get units up to a terabyte in size if you need them ( ! US$ 1199 at www.lacie.com - I've used them, and they're indestructible as well ). Well, ok, they're shipping soon. You do have a firesafe, don't you (^: $0.02 Steve.
