I just had my secondary drive go out (Thankfully I backed it up to my external a couple weeks ago) and ordered a replacement. So, I'm curious what I can do to best extend the life of my drives? I'd like to not go through the hassle of the drive with my OS going bad. Would it help to move games and music files to the secondary drive? Or just not add and delete any more large programs or files?

Sorry if there's a thread on this, the search page wasn't loading up.
