I use an external hard drive. Several of them, actually. I always have my photos backed up on at least two different hard drives.

Gear: EOS 5DMKII; EOS 400D (infrared converted); Canon 24-105mm f/4 L; Sigma 17-35mm f/2.8-4 EX; Canon 70-200mm f/4 L; Canon 135mm f/2.0 L; Pentax SMC Takumar 50mm f/1.4 with EOS adaptor, Rokinon 14mm f/2.8; only enough knowledge to be a clear and present danger to society.

I'd get the biggest one I could find by Seagate, Western Digital, and maybe Hitachi if they make one. Stick to the big makers. Check AMazon for a comparison of sizes and prices, or Newegg if they have a UK base.

I never let my hard drive get that full in the first place. If it gets about 75%, then it's time to clean house. I have 2 external hard drives that I move things to if I don't need them on a day to day basis. When your hard disk gets too full it slows down your whole system.
