Sounds like you have anywhere from 4 Gb to 10 Gb of photos. Most of the external hard drives start at 250 Gb so that is a good place to start.
Are you planning on adding more? If so, you may want a larger drive or consider archiving on this new drive and placing new pictures on another new drive. Hard drives do not work well when more than 50% full.

Do you have photo editing software? Microsoft photo gallery does okay, snapfire does not. The ability to Batch edit is a must. Jasc Paint Shop Pro was great for the price but Corel bought it. ARGH!
Picasa allows you to create albums but it likes to create albums of your whole computer. Every time I ask it to add a folder it doesn't just add that folder but every folder on my computer.
I need to upgrade my photo software and I'll let you know what I find, but it might be awhile. I'd be interested to hear what software others here use.
