    Top Features of External Hard Disks


    After writable DVDs, hard drives evolved to fulfil a growing need for data storage. They work on the original principle of magnetism and are usually made of aluminium or glass with a magnetic coating to keep the information securely stored. Some disks may be formatted originally to work on either a PC or a Mac, but usually, they can be reformatted to work on either kind of machine as well as operating systems. Since the drive is attached externally, with or without a wire, you can consider the speed before purchasing one. Storage capacity is another important factor to consider when buying a hard disk. For simple use, such as storage, backup, and transfer of documents etc, a capacity of up to 1 TB might work well but if you want it for movies or heavy gaming applications, you can consider up to 2 TB hard drive. Many hard drives offer different measures of security. You may want to read the specifications for more information on this aspect. Most hard drives offer some form of encryption or the other, while others have the facility of a supplementary pin for added security. Since portability is one of the big reasons to buy a hard drive, you can check the physical features of the drive, including the shape and size, and whether it would fit easily into your bag, and so on.

    Top Benefits of External Hard Drives


    One of the most important reasons to opt for a hard drive instead of CDs, DVDs, or pen drives is that it offers massive storage space. In comparison to other storage devices, hard drives are also fast. They are safe to use and can retain the memory even after the main computer has been turned off. They usually have a long life and therefore, can help keep your data files safe for an extended period. They are apt for backing up important information, such as large media files and for moving files from one machine to another, without losing the data or compromising the quality. They also work well for gamers who need to work with high-resolution graphics regularly. Moreover, hard disks allow users to work with the data without taking up huge space on their personal computers.
