I was wondering when it is good to backup my things onto a harddrive?   I 
have enough space for files now because I have a 160 Gig Harddrive now.

I would  say it depends on what you want to do.  For music and other
relatively  large files where the initial load time isn't really all
that important I  would say there are huge benefits to an external
drive, especially if you  also use it to perform backups.  (This is in
fact what I do, I bought  a 1.5tb external and have been ripping my
collection of computer  CDs).

I would not want to use an external drive for lots of small  files
where load time is important, or for my system drive, the  performance
hit is simply too great for that to be viable yet.

The  convenience of not having to open up the case and find a path
through the  cable maze is just a bonus.  Plus, an internal drive would
probably  trigger JAWS' hardware signature change logic and require  a
re-authorization.
