Different country, different habits, here in france, it's:
10pc DVD+R DL -  35€
10pc DVD+R SL  - 11€
500 GB Seagate - 85€

Lets assume 8.4GB of usable data on the DL and 670GB on the hard drive
(with formating and counting in base2 as opposed to base10)
DVD+R SL = 1.1/4.7 = ~0.234
DVD+R DL = 3.5/8.4 = ~0.416 per GB
500GB HD = 85/450  = ~0.19 per GB

Here, wherever your time is valuable or not, it's better on a spare
hard drive. All in all, even with your country prices, I would still
chose hard disk option :). Maybe it's a bad impression, but I would
rely more on a hard drive than on optical drives (even if in a hard
drive failure you loose far more data)
