If anything, get a USB RAID storage device to store the images.

Or, get some really big drives for one of my systems. Probably a SATA
RAID.


If you want to justify a new PC, then get one with a RAID that is set
to mirror. I'd advise the external RAID anyway.

Nothing worse than losing a drive with most of your images on it.

Agreed. Or losing anything else. For years I've been doing backups
to tape with good results. I have never used low-end DDS, so I
haven't experienced the problems that people have been having with
that technology.
