Portables offer the added advantage of being easier to rescue in an emergency (find recommendations for a “Grab and Go External Hard Drive” in my 2017 article 7 Essentials For Managing Photo-Related Emergencies). Portables, on the other hand, range from the size of a deck of cards to about the size of a cigar box. Physically, think of a desktop HDD as being about the size of a college dictionary.
NAS drives can be shared easily by all family members. A third popular choice is the NAS (Network Attached Storage) drive that is connected to your home network and can be accessed from anywhere you find an internet connection. Those are the two basic options, Desktop and Portable. Portables are more suitable if you need to move the external storage from computer to computer or want to use it with a notebook computer while on the go. Spindle drives use spinning platters and are generally slower, bigger and cheaper when compared head-to-head with SSD.Ī desktop HDD (Hard Disk Drive) is a common choice if you plan to leave it tethered to your computer.
Solid State Drives (SSD) are very fast and have fewer moving parts, but are often more expensive and typically have less storage capacity. This Western Digital My Passport desktop HDD offers 1TB Storage Capacity, Micro-USB 3.0 interface, Data Protection with Hardware Encryption and it’s Bus Powered.
