I would like to get something like a SSD or such. Any ideas for the best thing to get for backing up photos, music, and documents? Also should I go with something larger like a 150 gb or something smaller. I ask this as I have had my laptop for 5 months and have maybe used 20gb of 150 gb. Any advice and ideas are welcome and thanks to anyone to responds.

I would recommend an external USB hard drive. An SSD or thumb drive has low capacity and you get more for your money with a HDD. Get one of the small (2 1/2" drive) jobs that gets power from the USB.
We use them at work to backup our server.

There are several ways to back up ur photos,. 1st. use a memory stick, they come in various sizes from 1mg to over 20mg. 2nd copy your files onto a dvd after compressing using the zip program that should be on your system already. 3rd There are several on-line companies that will store you photos for free, just do a google a search. 4th, buy an external hard drive to store your photos and any other data you may want to save off your current hd

External Hardrive are always the best for backups. And I would suggest to get more than 150gb if you planning to backup photos and music alone. Always make sure to back up your emails too... trust me learned it the hard way /smiles
