Joe, For the amount of data your referring to I'd recommend you continue with the HDD backups. HDDs are cheap enough and as reliable as you probably need. I've used HDDs as my back-ups for years now...a lesson I learned was to have two seperate back-ups and alternate the HDDs each backup. Since my desktop is where 95% of my work is done I use standard internal HDDs and only connect one when I'm ready to do a backup...anything done on laptop is transferred over to the desktop when getting home.
