Interesting topic and thread. I've been simply keeping all my raw and processed .jpgs on external hard drives, then stacking them up when they're full...

Lynn,
Glad you found the topic useful. If you are using external hard-drives as your archives, do make sure you attatch them to you computer every once in a while and let it 'spin up' - this will reduce the chances of failure due to the disk heads getting stuck through lack of use.
