big hard drive

I take a lot of photos.

(duh).

But they pile up on my computer for a month or so, and then get backed up to DVD. At which point, I don't access them very much. Call it frustration with having to dig up the disk and look though it. Call it "out of sight, out of mind...". But I just don't go back to my old photos often.

So I was thinking maybe I could get a huge external hard drive, and try to dump ALL my photos on there. I mean... just now I found a 1 TB gigabit ethernet SAN drive for about $200. That would hold me for a little while.

Thoughts?

(I really do tend to find I get much more use out of things when they're accessible.)
