Computer Back-Up Opinions Needed

"I firmly believe that in the future instead of having an old shoe box in the attic full of un-sorted family photos, we will have a box full of CD's, Jump Drives and external drives sitting there collecting the dust..."

Already there - I have boxes of 5.25" floppy discs, CD-R's and low capacity hard drives filed away collecting dust from earlier PC's - right back to an IBM JX (Jr for the US guys - those who remember it!). I'm sure there's a version of the "4 Yorkshireman" skit adapted to 80s PC nostalgia...

I have one computer running a SSD drive which has no moving parts and is 64Gb which is more then enough to house windows 7 and alittle room for other programs..for storage like pictures and stuff i added a 500Gb platter drive .. the SSD is the way to go but some of those also fail but prices are coming down and size is going up.
