• External Hard Drive On Sale

An external hard drive is a great way to store huge amounts of data, far more than can be saved to most laptops or tablets. Sometimes you need the extra space that only a serious hard drive with terabytes of data will allow. Most laptops come with limited amounts of hard drive space, around 500GB or less, as they have solid state drives (SSD) inside. External hard drives are a great way to store or back up extra files, especially photos and videos. They can also be useful if you plan to do a lot of moving about and travelling while keeping your key files at the ready. Here is everything you need to know when buying an external hard drive.

The Backup Slim Plus is fairly reliable. Although Seagate has been known to make drives with less than average reliability, they are among the cheapest external hard drives you can buy. Its data transfer rate is a respectable 100 MB per second and at just 159g it makes for an ideal portable option. Size: 500 GB or 1 TB For something faster, Samsung's T3 solid state drive offers faster transfer than most normal hard drives and is a great expansion for tablets, smartphones and Windows devices.

It is also tiny, weighing just 51g, making it ideal for portability and practicality. It connects via USB-C. WD Wireless Pro 3TB.

Sizes: 6 TB, 8 TB, 12 TB or 16 TB Sometimes you will just need that extra space. The WD MyBook Pro range builds up from 6 TB with fast data transfer speeds of 435 MB per second and read and write speeds of around 365 MB per second. It has two USB 3.0 ports and two Thunderbolt ports with dual 7200 RPM drives.

It starts at just over £545 for the 6 TB version, but for a real storage beast goes up to 16 TB for £1,180. Hard drive brands The most well-known hard drive brands include Seagate, Western Digital, Toshiba and Hitachi, while others such as Samsung, SanDisk and G-Tech also offer sleek and powerful external storage or solid state drives. Storage capacity Smaller hard drives have less than 1 TB of storage, not much more than you get in some laptops. These are smaller and more expensive but offer faster boot up for files and programs, ideal for use inside a slim and powerful ultrabook or notebook. If you are a video editor or a photographer you may want several terabytes of storage. Fortunately, hard drive storage is not that expensive to add, and a 4 TB hard drive will set you back less than £200 from some brands. Connectivity Until recently, most hard drives connected with USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 connections, but now many are moving over to USB-C, which offers 10 Gps of transfer speed, equivalent to twice the speed on offer from USB 3.0.

Other forms of connection include wireless transfer to the hard drive. Reliability Although hard drives tend to be pretty reliable there are few comprehensive reviews of how reliable drives are over a long time under strain, and nobody wants to loose years of cherished photos or videos. Data from shows Hitachi and Western Digital drives had some of the lowest failure rates last year, although these stats are largely limited to internal drives. To keep your files safe you may want to buy a more rugged hard drive.

Write and read speed Read speed is essentially how long it takes to upload files from your head drive, while write speed is how long it takes to save something to the drive. Most cheaper hard drives will have a fairly modest read/write speed of around 100 to 150 MB per second, not brilliant if you want to load or transfer lots of large video files. Better hard drives will offer zippier speeds of 400 MB per second or better, although the prices will start to stack up at this range. How much should I pay for a hard drive? The price of an external hard drive can vary from anything between £50 to £250 for medium sized drives of between 1 TB and 4 TB. More expensive, faster hard drives can cost £250 or more, while seriously large and powerful hard drives can cost several hundred pounds. You can also get external SSDs.

These will cost more for the storage space, so a medium sized SSD of around 1 TB will be significantly more expensive than a hard drive of a similar size. Jargon buster Tech terminology RAM: This is the laptop’s main memory where programs and files are stored. Smaller laptops may have 4GB or less, but powerful devices will have 8GB.
