At �1 per gig I would have thought Hard Drives were a real rival to CDs. For a start I always have spare unused space when burning CDs. They need handling as I get them out and put them back on a machine. To burn a CD slowly and safely takes about 17 minutes. To copy via firewire from HD to HD takes much less time. Since my stack of Kodak CDs at 17p each, reckoned to be the best by many, is dwindling fast I am seriously looking at master archives on HD.
Obviously the risk of theft of a laptop when on a foreign trip is very real. Who wants to steal exposed film for instance? Does anyone have experience of shipping HDs via DHL?
Yours

I think that one very crucial thing is missing from your workflow which is
"Burn Raw files to CD". The raw files should be treated like negs and
touched as little as possible before they are saved to as permanent a medium
as one can use - right now that appears to be good CDs.
