Re: storing cds on a hard drive?
Also if you can afford it, get at least 2 externals so one can be used as a backup and the other as your day to day flac player memory location.
I'm paranoid and have at least 2 backups...especially for the shows I have recorded personally. Better safe than sorry.

Re: storing cds on a hard drive?
I lucked out and bought two 2TB Seagate externals for $69 each at costco on black friday. I'm seriously considering sticking all my cds on externals. Video is a different animal (at least in my case).
