One of the main causes of computer slowness is having lots of files stored on your computer. The more files you have the harder your Hard Disk Drive has to work to find program files etc.

One way to address this is to store all your files on an External Hard Disk Drive.

External Hard Disk Drives are fairly cheap these days and you can pick up a 500Gb drive for as little as £50 or around $100. They simply connect to your machine via a USB cable.

By storing all the files on another Hard Disk Drive your main drive can concentrate on running your programs quickly and efficiently.
