I keep all my stuff on an external USB drive - Maxtor is the brand, and I bought it because you can password-protect the contents. Actually bought two of them, for back-up. Very secure. Best not to keep stuff sitting on your computer's hard drive.

For Mac Users
Every file on my Mac is crypted by system, and additionally I'm using freeware Altomac Hide Folders on MacOS X.
Link:http://www.altomac.com/hide_folders/ Easy to handle, program is password protected, too. Btw. I stored the program on an USB-stick and not in program folder on internal HD. So if there's no system password for decrypting, no stick, no program and it's password = no chance quick to find the 'special' folders on my external 2.5' HD. Greetz goldentaurus2001

I keep it stored on CD-RW's. Each one holds about 700MB - which is plenty for my collection.

Since I live alone I personally just stored the stuff plain on my hard drive.
But as qed2000 suggested Truecrypt is a fine piece of software. You can encrypt the complete drive so noone (and I mean NOONE!) can access the file without the password... use a strong password though, min 8 letters, digits, capitals and special characters! Everything stays hidden until you hit a key combination and type in the password, then the encrypted hdd will be assigned a drive letter and can be accessed just like a normal drive. Hit another key combo to "unmount" the drive and hide it again. So my suggestion is to get a second hdd and use truecrypt Quote:

First I save the files by giving them a prefix-letter for archive purposes, depending on what is featured on the photo, then I just zip the files with the help of a good old MS-dos batchfile that puts everything in the right zip, such as a zip-file with readhead-pics or another one with 'spread'pics.
After zipping the ZIP-files are automatically renamed with very inconspicuous names with no extension. To unzip I can manually rename them as zip-files but I rather use a set of batchfiles instead to unzip the right zip-files. Again, after unzipping, the zipfile will be renamed to the same inconspicuous name (again, with no extension)
