Get two external hard drives. Use one for storage and the other as a backup. Harddisks tend to die at those moment you really need the data.
And they’re not that expensive anymore these days.

You’re probably better off getting a 500GB external hard drive. Maybe even 2 (one for added memory and one for backup. ) I do a lot of digital photography myself, and I also download tons movies and music from the web and that tends to eat up a lot of memory from my computer. I’m rocking two 320 GB Western Digital External Hard Drives and one 500GB Western DIgital External Drive, plus I have a 320GB Rock Portable hard drive so I could take my music and movies to go on my laptop. So if you do the math, I have well over 1 terabyte of memory. One 500GB external drive would suffice for you though I think. If you’re looking to buy them in stores like Best Buy or Circuit City, I would suggest trying online first like on eBay. Often times Best Buy will over price their external drives. You could easily save 20-40 dollars online if you do your research. I bought all mine from eBay and haven’t had any problems.

There are a several reasons why your computer is freezing/slow. First question is when the last time you cleaned your registry. Having a corrupted registry can cause a whole host of errors and problems. Freezing up is one of them. If you have a lot of unnecessary registry keys that are hogging up your computer resources. Your computer is bound to choke. Scan your registry with a good registry cleaner. If you pull up more than 20 errors or duplication, clean your registry.

2. Depending on your RAM specs and your computer usage. This could also be the issue. Having an insufficient amount of free space does not allow your RAM to function properly. If you are using a lot of RAM by net surfing or other activities without enough empty space your will get freezes. You don’t need to buy new RAM but you should increase your free space by removing unnecessary data and perhaps increasing your virtual memory. The below link will show you how.
3. Spyware could be the culprit, so do a scan and see if your computer is infected.
