- 31. Storing Digital Photos First Choice - external USB drives USB drives are faster than burning to CD, and tend to be more reliable. Plus, you can plug the drive in, edit your photos, and resave since it acts like a regular drive. Secondary Back Up on CDs Back up your images onto CD, then store them in a cool, dark, dry , and safe location. I'd also re-backup everything at least once a year. CDs wear out and if they get scratch you will not be able to recovery any photos off of them.
