I'm running a Corsair 32g survivor and a Flash Voyager 16g. Both were purchased in 4Q '08, and have survived multiple trips to Iraq, Afghan, Kuwait, Europe, and the DR. I trust Corsair and Kensington the most. I buy throw away drives for other purposes, but if they fail it's no big deal.

For optical drives I'm big on Western Digital. The passport series are good for traveling, but remember it pays to buy a quality case to reduce the shock of traveling and humidity.

Some guys here seem to love traveling with massive media files, but I can get by with almost nothing. When abroad, it's about chasing tail and experiencing a new culture. I wait till I'm stuck back in the states to get caught up on movies, tv, and games. Good for filling up time here.

External SSD's are still expensive, so I recommend USB's. Corsair Flash Survivor can be purchased for $80. That's is a shitload of solid storage.

For laptops, SSD's are the wave of the future. People complain about having not enough storage on Macbooks/ultrabooks, but for me it's a tradeoff. I am a tech guru and despise unreliable electronics. Store your massive media files on an optical external and leave at home. When traveling, if you must, stick a bunch up in the clouds so you can have access.

top advice man, I looked into the Corsair 32g survivor and saw its the 3.0 stealth waterproof version, and that looks quality. B.B should defo look into that.

I've destroyed many a Sandisk USB's. The housing is flimsy. Stay away from Centon waterproof ones too. High fail rate, even though one did make it through one washing machine incident. But not two. :blush:

Imation and PNY suck balls too. Avoid.

SanDisk however makes great SD cards and their mp3 players are my favorite on the market.

External hard drive, internal hard drive, single written DVD, and I email them to myself. I'm very paranoid when it comes to losing pictures, especially nudes and sex pics I've taken with ex's, inevitably when I'm having to target older women I'll be depending on my pictures of 18 year olds to get me psyched up and motivated to push through and get laid.

BB, what numbers are you looking at? How many pics per month/year? How much space (GB) per month/year?

I've been traveling for the past 3.5 years and I keep my pics in three places: my laptop, in my free Photobucket account (which I upload from my laptop as soon as I can), and my desktop (I only do this whenever I go home). Since I don't take ALOT of pics, I have yet to max out my laptop or my PB account.

Multiple backups. I learned the hard way after losing my irreplaceable set of multiple ex-girlfriend nudes that were backed up in only two places.

I have those if you need them.

Thank God. They were priceless memories of a time before the girls in them got fat.
