Tech recommendation, please?

One last note I'd like to add, just for the record... having a BD capable drive is nice if it comes with the software that allows you to play BD movies. For an on-the-go kinda guy like me, it helps make my laptop into that nice all-in-one entertainment package when I'm away from home... which is frequent these days. But if back-ups are what you're after, then an external hard drive is the only way to go, honestly. If you go that route, I recommend using a networked drive (gone blank on what they're called) so every PC on your network can use it for backup purposes. Sure, that may be putting your eggs all in one basket, but I suppose that what one may use BD archives for (redundant backup).
