Cameras & Camcorders

Anyone have any suggestions on digital photo storage? I have all of my photos loaded onto my computer but would like to transfer them to something else. Cds don't hold enough photos. How about flash drives, do those hold more photos? Thanks

DVDs?  They can hold a huge amount of photos unless you shoot RAW.

Flash drives are pretty expensive.  A 4GB flash drive costs more than a spindle of DVDs.

External hard drives work well for backup as long as you don't have everything in one location.

In my case, I have a file server with a RAID 5 array (if one drive fails, data is not lost), plus I copy everything periodically to an external 3.5" hard drive.
