I was surprised to see that I filled up my photo archive drive recently. I was using a Shared folder of My Pictures on my server downstairs, so I was effectively filling up the root hard drive with pix (mostly from my new Nikon D60). Not good!
I was already using two external USB drives - a 70Gb and a 200 Gb. These kinds of purchases fall under my $99 rule - get the best you can for $99. I went out to Costco and saw a WD 500Gb "My Book" for $109. A tad over my $99 rule but a heck of a bargain. I plugged it in with the USB and power cable and it was quiet and fast. I moved everything over to the 500Gb drive and I will now use the 200Gb as my backup drive, although I need to connect it to my OneCare "hub" PC to do that.
