Image files eat up space, even if they're just jpegs. I have access to 150 gigs of online space, bought and paid for with no recurring fees. Filling that up is easy.The cheapest price for 1TB of online space I've seen is Google's, which offers it as an upgrade to Picasa, etc., at $246 per year. That's just about 3 1TB drives if you look around.

I agree about offsite storage. It seems to me, though, that it really needs to be offsite storage of everything. So, you'd be accumulating disks there, as well.

One thing to remember when you put files online is how you're going to get them back when you need them.
