We, too, are storing our images on hard drives, but are sticking to external drives for this purpose. Since this volume is networked we've decided that a 4.3 gig drive is the best solution to making images accessible over a network; we've bypassed the CD-jukebox/optical disk route as well. I realize that eventually we might need a larger drive, but for right now we have enough space on the drive and since it presents the best option for easy access by endusers (as well as quick backups, because we can backup images on the internal drive).Sincerely,
