The final thing to consider is whether this hard drive is going to housed in a desktop or laptop case or used externally and connected to various devices. It’s an easy decision, but let’s take a look at the pros and cons of each.External drives are ideal for storage, backups, and transfers. They typically connect using USB 2.0, 3.0, or 3.1, which have maximum transfer speeds of 60MB/s, 625MB/s, and 1,250MB/s, respectively. USB 3.1 is preferable of course, but not essential unless you’re transferring hours of data back and forth every single day.
External drives are portable. They can be shared between multiple computers without any hassle. Just unplug the USB, plug it elsewhere, and you’re done. They can also be plugged into TVs and media centers for direct media playback.
In all other cases, internal drives are preferable.
To clarify, any data drive can be used internally or externally as long as the connectors are compatible. External drives are essentially internal drives placed in a special protective casing. If you bought anexternal drive, you can remove the actual drive and use it internally.
We recommend using HDDs for external drives because you rarely need the performance of an SSD for that, plus HDDs tend to hold up better over time. Just make sure you get one with USB 3.0 or 3.1 support, like the Seagate Expansion 1TB Portable HDD which happens to be very affordable.
If you need to maximize storage capacity, then opt for the internal version called the Seagate Expansion 8TB Desktop HDD, which is somewhat pricey but offers extremely good value on a price-per-gigabyte basis. It’s one of the best deals you’ll find as of this writing.
If data security is your primary concern, you might consider something like the Transcend 1TB StoreJet M3 HDD. It comes with military-grade shock resistance, an anti-shock rubber case, an internal suspension system that can survive drops, and built-in 256-bit AES encryption.
If speed is of utmost importance and you don’t have that much data to store, then an external SSDmight actually be better than an HDD. These are rarer than external HDDs so pickings are slimmer, but good options do exist, such as the Samsung T5 500GB Portable SSD. Just note that you must use USB 3.1 to take advantage of its full transfer speed.
