The quest for quasi-infinite storage

OK now I was cleaning house this morning because I'm doing online course work and learning several new software solution products that I need to deploy for work. It was then that I realized just how much "stuff" I have on my hard drive. My photography hobby of course is a big influence in this. Just half of my 2006 library runs me 8GBs =\ Where the hell do I store all this. The cheap solution of course is to segment and burn to DVDs but ugh, I hate maintaining data file catalogs. I had thought about tape but blerg. Then of course there's all these spiffy new 1TB NAS devices :)

We don't normally think much about pictures these days since we no longer need to store 35mm negatives. But good god it's rough in a whole other level now with the massive file sizes. So what's your solution? Let me know oh mighty blogsphere.
