Listing ID #4409706

External hard disk is a great solution for storing digital data in a secure and cost effective manner. Today we are living in the digital age, and all our photos, videos, documents and music are in digital formats. CD’s and DVD’s do not have enough space to store the backup of our PC or Laptop. With growing data, the storage capacity of our PC or laptop proves insufficient. We therefore need a solution which can let us store huge volumes of data without having to worry about the storage. This is where external hard disks come into the picture.
External hard disks can store terabytes of data and are very easy to use. You can simply connect your computer with external hard disk drive via USB cable or FireWire with eSATA. USB 3.0 provides data transfer speeds of up to 5 Gbit/s. On the other hand, eSATA is faster than USB 3.0 and can provide up to 6 Gbit/s data transfer speed. 
External hard disks in India are available in several capacities, ranging between 128GB and 2TB. External HDD can also be used as boot-up devices to restore the OS on a PC in case of any malfunction or serious security issues.
You must be fascinated with huge capacity portable hard drives and might be thinking of buying an HDD that offers terabytes of space. But the truth is, most of us do not require such huge data storage. There is a basic rule you need to follow when you are buying an external HDD. You should at least buy an external hard disk of same capacity of the hard drive of your computer, so that you can freely backup all data of your computer.
But there are some things that you should look before choosing an external hard drive like the compatibility with your OS. So before buying, please check the OS compatibility of the hard drive. In addition, most hard drives come with Windows driver, that’s why if your Windows fail for any reason, you won’t be able to access your HD using DOS. In general, manufacturers of external had drive do not provide support for DOS.
Capacity, performance and mobility plays important role in buying external hard drives. In India, you will find external hard drives from brands like Samsung, Seagate, Western Digital, Transcend, Toshiba, Buffalo, HP, Sony, etc. Most of them are providing hard drive in different capacities. If you want to buy external hard disk, keep all of the above-mentioned facts in mind. Large 3.5-inch HDD can provide you large storage capacity, but these are hard to carry, on the other hand, small 1-inch HDD is portable but they have limited storage capacity. So considering the fact, we would suggest you to buy USB external hard disk that fits your requirement in term of storage, portability and budget.
