What Is An External Hard Drive Used For?

An external hard drive is often used for the storage of computer data. While laptops and computers often come with an ample amount of storage, it’s not infinite. External hard drives can store computer data like movies, games, and photos. In addition to being used for additional digital storage, portable hard drives can also be utilized for backing up your computer hard drive, data sharing, gaming, and digital editing.

External Hard Drive Size Options

Before choosing an external drive, consider first how much storage you’ll need. Portable external hard drives come in a range of sizes from 1 TB (Terabyte) to 5 TB. If you’re just looking to transfer some documents for work, then 1 or 2 TB should suffice. However, if you need to transfer large files or you’re looking to back up your entire computer, 3 to 5 TB should be considered.

What Is The Best External Hard Drive?

The best external hard drive not only has enough storage capacity for your transfer, but it should also be compatible with your type of computer or laptop. Most external hard drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs) are compatible with both PC and Mac computers, but it’s important to check the hard drive’s specs. Solid-state drives are typically faster than traditional hard drives, making them a more appealing choice for those looking to transfer games or movies. Top brands such a Seagate and WD produce HDDs, while SSDs are available from SanDisk and Western Digital.
