Dave, FWIW- I have two external drives (Maxtor) that I use, one primary & one backup for the primary.
I like this for several reasons - speed of access (much faster than accessing images on CD's) and cost of backup (just bought two 120 GB Maxtors for $59.95 each, 3"X4.5" - very portable). Plus I don't have a bunch od disks to sort thru when I'm looking for an image. When I fill up the two I'm now using, I'll hook up two more.
