It all depends on how complicated you want to get. My suggestion:
- Change the power settings to not spool down the drive
- Get an external drive (I have a 3TB USB3 drive - $90 with incremental backup software) for backup
- Subscribe to Crashplan - $60/yr to backup data offsite.
That should speed up access and provide a few levels of backup.
To go a bit further, as I did:
- 256GB SSD for System Drive, Programs, and frequently accessed files
- Blue-ray writer to periodically backup two copies - one in a fireproof safge downstairs and one in the in-laws gun safe 200 miles away.
