Optical discs.

No, seriously. Cheap chink shit DVD-Rs may or may not be readable in several years, but the expensive "archival" stuff definitely will, if you store it properly.

DVD-Rs are 4GB and change. If that's not enough, use Blu-ray, which is 25-something GB.

yeah DVD-R are small. id have to burn like 20 of them and its hard to keep track of them. thats why wanted to get some kind of 100-200GB HDD for photos only.

Tape drive
