| I have 2 500GB WD sata2 drives in cases (1 is a Coolermaster and the other is a Max4 Thermaltake case) sitting on my desk plugged into eSATA ports on the back of my PC (2 TB internal). Image files are stores on 2 different drives internally. Before LR2 or ACR is allowed to d/l images through card reader I switch the eSATA drive on, it spins up and is recognized and I check the box in ACR for a copy of the originals to be saved to a backup location on the external drive.
Before leaving for extended time I remove the backup drives and store off site.
Although no storage medium is infallible I have more confidenjce in HDD than in optical media. Not to mention the number of DVD needed to back up 200 GB.
