Well, I store all my images including CB&Q (trying to remain relevant) 
on a RAID 5 network attached storage. I keep spare disks on hand. A Raid 
5 system can tolerate a disk failure. Replace it with a new one and the 
data store is automatically rebuilt. Google readynas. I can also get any 
doc or image on my Cell phone anywhere in the world where I have a cell 
or wifi service. Very handy. Impresses doctors when I can pull up 
medical records from home.

The problem that you describe about the Plustek is also a problem with the Nikon Coolscan machines. I don’t think they can take slides other than 2 x 2 mounts and I don’t know if they can adjust to accommodate wider frame format 2 x 2 slides such as 127 and 828. As I said in an earlier post, there doesn’t seem to be good solution that satisfies all requirements. Another problem to consider is where do you safely store all of the scans. I use two high capacity external hard drives. I don’t really want my photos stored on the web and, that is getting more expensive, too.
