External Hard Drives



Trying to find a decent present for the person who has everything can be a holiday hassle. Even when the Holidays are not around it can be a hassle. What really can you get the person who has everything? Well if the person has a computer, a removable hard drive is always an option.

Why a Removable Hard Drive?

It is simple, it is something that most people can use (even if they have one). It is not TOO expensive but nice enough that they know you didn't just grab it from a Walgreens 30 minutes ago.

What is so good about a Removable Hard Drive?

With the increasing ease of downloading music, videos, games and many other forms of bloated media the need for space is growing very fast. Fortunately the space on drives is also moving fast. They are getting quite large. But there may be more media out there than the space available on hard drive. Or close enough to make things difficult space wise. An enormous and efficient (and inexpensive) drive like the Western Digital (WD) can often cure these issues. These removable drives can be up to an amazing 2TB, which should be enough space to hold a lot of files. Or even enough for a complete backup.

Other benefits of a removable hard drive.

Like stated above. Besides having a way to store excess data there are many other uses for an external drive. A big one being of use as a medium for backup. Additionally a big use can be transferring large files or media to other computers. Things like songs and movies are perfect for this.
