1) My laptops internal hdd os C: and D: are they - 1 hdd or 2 separate hdds?

2) If my os C: fills up will my lappy's performance slow down. Can I shift the excess GB to D: and improve the laptop's performance?

3) How unreliable are External HDDs. I heard they sometimes die fast and don't last long. I have a Seagate Goflex 500GB and I thought of getting another for backup. Any other suggestions on backing up lots of data securely for long term.
 
1. Most likely 1 drive as they like putting 2 partitions on a drive. You can check this by using disk management.

2. If you have vista or 7 then you can expand space from d into c. Again this is done with using disk management.

As far as external drives go, I don't trust them.
