Yeah, defragging is over-rated. Its allright to do it once every two or three months, but any more and its just unneccesary wear on the drive.

And backuping up data isn't too much of a pain, just have a DVD burner and pick up a pile of cheap DVD-Rs. Due to the large volume of data that I keep piling into my HD, I have to backup another DVD roughly once every week or two.

To the best of my knowledge, DVDs are the best way to go for backups. They're large, relatively cheap, and quite fast to burn. Also I've heard good things about their longevity, 7 years I think they're good for.
