That's a good point. Putting a set of drives in a safety deposit box
would solve two problems - it would provide an archive copy of my
library and also prevent me from having a bunch of drives sitting around
doing nothing....
I actually have an arrangement with a local PC store that does offsite
backups for businesse, and a copy of the library resides on their
servers. I have FTP access but given the amount of data involved I
usually just bring a spare copy of the drives to them a few times a year
to have them archived.

However you organize things, this may be a good time to retire a set
of drives with your entire library backed up on them, just so that you
have an (offsite?) archival backup up everything. On the off chance
that something goes wrong somewhere along the line.

I'm currently housing my digital images on a couple of external hard

there any particular brands to look for or avoid?
I am thinking of getting a couple of 4TB drives, to replace a couple of
3TB drives currently in use. I'm currently using two pair of drives with
a 3TB and 2TB in each pair. Moving from a 3+2 setup to a 4+3 setup will
net an additional 2TB of storage, which should last for a couple years
or so.
I Googled on this and Hitachi came up as making reliable drives. A quick
search on Amazon did not reveal any Hitachi drives in enclosures, but I
assume I could buy an enclosure that would support them.
Any suggestions?
