heat is the enemy of hard drives. most only last 5 years.
very much depends on manufacturer and model. Newer model
usually have bugs so don't buy the latest and greatest. wait
for a year.

laptop hard drives die in 3 years some even less.

cd-r and dvd-r are not reliable. may last on few years
depending on storage and dye material. should not be
used as primary backup. use dvd-r to share with your relatives.
iTunes burns with all the metadata just create a playlist with 4.34 GB size.

Buy external usb or firewire enclosure.
buy a good 3.5 inch hard driver. create partition.
use backup software to backup and do manual backups as
well.

In few years SSD will be the main way people will
use hard drive. So save up your money and buy those
when you can afford.

Also, you can use ipod nano as a backup and listening is bonus.
