Features to Consider for Hard Disk Drives (HDD)

Compatibility
Ensure the portable hard disk works with your OS and devices. Make sure to check compatibility with Windows, macOS and interface types like USB-A or USB-C.
Cache
A larger cache in an external HDD improves performance by storing frequently accessed data, resulting in faster read/write speeds, especially for large files.
Reliability
Just like when purchasing wireless earbuds or an Android tablet, select an external hard disk from a reputable brand for its reliability and durability. Consider shock resistance, data encryption and warranty coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions About External Hard Disks
How does an external hard drive work?
An external hard drive works by storing data on magnetic platters, similar to an internal hard drive. It connects to your computer via USB or other interfaces, allowing you to transfer and access files externally.
How do I choose the right external hard drive for my needs?
Consider factors like storage capacity, speed (RPM and interface), portability and compatibility with your devices. Determine your primary use (backup, media storage, etc.) to select the appropriate drive.
Are external hard disk drives reliable?
Modern external hard disk drives are generally reliable, but they are still mechanical devices. Choose reputable brands, handle them with care and regularly back up your data to minimise the risk of data loss.
Can I use an external hard drive with both Windows and Mac?
Yes, but you may need to format the drive to a file system that is compatible with both operating systems, such as exFAT. Some drives also come with software that allows cross-platform compatibility.
What is the largest storage capacity for external hard disk drives?
External HDDs are available with capacities of up to 22TB and growing. The largest consumer-grade drives offer ample storage for extensive media libraries and large backups.
