Nice, but I don't like the idea of my archive in my laptop. I think it's a good idea to use a SS drive for the laptop and keep it relatively small, so that I'm forced to back up to my external and offsite HDs regularly.

I've got a 2TB external HD at home to back up my laptop and my desktop and a 3TB HD in the network at work that I keep synchronized with the external HD at home. Flickr is another backup, but it only has JPEG files, not Raw.

Next time that I replace my home desktop (my main imaging computer) I will probably go with a dual HD, one SS and one SATA and then keep the SATA in sync with the offsite network HD.

BTW, I have two friends that had their life's work destroyed this last year, one in fire and one in flood. Physical offsite is a must, if you value your files. I like being able to see my drives, but Cloud is better than nothing.
