[sorry if this has been discussed before, but I don't remember anything conclusive coming from this topic]

Okay, so I want to back up all my MP3's and get them off my PC. I'll still want them in a safe place, though, since I can't easily get them off the empeg (and what if my empeg crashes?).

So there's a few ways I could do it.
1) CD's
2) extra hard drive
3) some other media storage

1) ~700 MB a disc for 13 GB of MP3's? no thanks.
2) I don't think so

3) I've been looking into DVD RAM drives. I've been looking at Hitachi's drives, but they're not very easy to find. I'm looking at their GF-2000 model. Here's info on the various drives:

I'm liking this option for future purposes, like storing captured video in less compressed file types (so I don't have to wait while WMP decides a WMV file that I compressed the hell out of).

So what does everyone think? I've kinda found the drives on Pricewatch (just SCSI, though, which I can't use), but they're not cheap or anything. Anyone know what place would be best for this?

Thanks!
