What is on your external hard drive, and how do you organize it?

Mine consists of all of my GarageBand projects, Apple Loops, and Video Data (including captured footage, Final Cut media, and project files).

I also keep a full backup of my documents, photos and music in case of a disaster or emergency.

Everything is sorted neatly into folders: Backup, Garage Band, Media, Video Projects, Captured Footage.

What about you?
