I try to burn all my raws and processed pictures on DVDs and get them off my Hard Drives. Hard Drives eventually fail. That's a fact. Internal or external. Don't rely on them. What you can do is get a docking base (USB or E-SATA - approx $80) and image [Acronis is pretty cool] all your BOOT HDs on one 500GB HD (approx $100), unplug it and shelf it. Only use/power it in the event of a major crash. For the rest of the data, images ,etc... just burn lots of DVDs.
