[Leica] Consensus on external hard drives

[pdzwig at summaventures.com (Peter Dzwig)]

Don,

I run a 250GB external Toshiba drive on my Windows XP machine. In fact it 
was so 
good I got two, for my kids' machines.

Cost about ?75 each. Probably 1 for 1 exchange rate in the US, ie $75

You could get any of the picture archiving s/w to manage it for you - I 
think. 
It stores their photos and backups readily.
