Hello all,

We currently have approximately 12,000 compressed jpeg images on 3 gig of hard drive storage (internal and external). We've got about 60,000 images to go still, and I'm wondering about the most effective means of storage. We have been avoiding photo cd storage due to concerns about medium longevity and speed of access. We are not networked at this point but are currently exploring this.

I'd like to find out how others are storing their compressed images. All input and suggestions are welcome!

Thanks.
