What do you store your recovered files on?

OK, not really the right bit for this to go into i know.

What do you lot store your recovered data on? We have esata external raid boxes attached to each of our computers and recovered data is saved to that(mirrored raid). Thinking about having a centralised storage NAS box, probably a synology one, but not sure if thats putting all your eggs in one basket. Then you have the problem of where do you back up a huge NAS drive to.

Thoughts?

I use a pair of Synology RS3614 to store client data, combined with at procedure to keep individual job drives, damaged drive until data is confirmed secure @ client.
Workstations are mounted with IB-545SSK backplanes with mod. fan system.

We have a central large NAS on RAID5 (redundant spare with email alert on fail) with various partitions such as "public" "jobs" and "firmware Central" for general sharing and another for archived long-standing jobs.

Then we have smaller 4-8 drive raid boxes for short-term storage on each PC3000 PC for its own day-day work (8-16Tb) Plus 4-bay e-SATA docking stations on each, for insertion of the image drive for each current job, plus destination data drive.
