No question go for Harddrive. BUT don't put your trust on just one drive either. The power up and power down puts a lot of strain on the drive, you are just better to leave the drive on all the time. Better option would be a NAS with RAID setup.
I have had a few drives gone belly up, lucky I had them setup as RAID and had a backup of the backup.
While you're at it, I recommend you use a UPS, if you're not using one already. http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/U/UPS.html https://duckduckgo.com/?q=why+you+should+use+a+UPS Be prepared, see "Murphy's law." Daniel Villarreal http://www.youcanlinux.org/
Looking at backing up ... Want to do one copy to 25 GB Bluray discs.
I don't trust CDs and DVDs for backup. I don't think I would trust Bluray either[...]
