Try WWW.STREAMLOAD.COM, you get 10 gig of off-site storage for free.

Also, I'm told Gmail now has unlimited storage.

===============================================================
I've been using a removable, internal hard disk for backing up and
archiving.  I'm looking to upgrade and wanted to see what technologies
you guys are using.

The benefit of a removable internal drive is that it's nearly twice as
fast as USB 2.0 and Firewire.  It connects directly to the IDE
controller so reported throughput is more than 1 GB/minute (though in
practice it's more like 200-400 MB/minute because of file handling.
The downside is it's not hot-swappable.

With archiving, I need capacity so the neat little USB micro drives
aren't really an option.

So, I guess my priorities are portability for off-site storage,
capacity and speed.  Any suggestions?
