What is an External Hard Drive?
An external hard drive is an alternative way to save data (photos, videos, documents, music, etc.) on a portable device that remains enclosed in a hard case separated from your desktop or notebook computer. Why should I invest in an external hard drive? • External hard drives are a great way to back up and store all of your photos, videos, important documents, and music. If your notebook or desktop computer crashes, you could lose everything. External hard drives can give you the security of knowing your files will be safe. • More storage space. If you’re always having to delete files in order to make room for other files, or if you’re just looking for more room to save large multimedia files, external hard drives are an inexpensive way to increase storage and require no messy installation. • External hard drives allow easy plug-and-play connection. You can take all of your files with you on the go by simply connecting your external hard drive to any computer’s USB 2.0 or Firewire conn
