Storing external HDs

[Greg Stempel <fyrframe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I want to extend the storage life for my digital files and have been 
using a system of external hard drives. I burn a DVD as well.

As I fill these hard drives, can I disconnect and store them in 
something like a pelican case or other means indefinitely? What about a 
home library shelf?

Thanks!
