Sooner or later, the computer's memory fills up, and we can no longer store any more files. Even though we can keep many things online now, and as time progresses by, manufacturers are getting cheaper and cheaper to use onboard computer storage, we still often need additional devices. For storing and transferring small files, a USB flash drive will be enough, and we need an external hard drive for larger files.
How many Winchester types are there?
An external hard drive, i.e. Winchester, can be HDD or SSD, with USB-A and Type-C connection, with or without shock protection. Let's consider what parameters to pay attention to when buying so that it is most suitable for recording programs, saving work files or transferring them. We'll also record musical compositions and play them later on with your favourite speakers.
Disc types
HDD - hard disk. The information stored on it is stored on magnetic disks, which are equipped with reading heads. The disks are fixed on a vertical axis, and when they rotate, the heads process information - write or read.
Because the hard drive relies on moving parts, it gets hot and noisy when turned on. The HDD also has a speed limit that depends on the number of revolutions per minute.
HDDs are fragile: mechanical damage often makes repair difficult. Therefore, it is better to put them in a laptop bag with the computer to protect them.
The Seagate 2TB Expansion Portable USB 3.0 External Hard Drive is an excellent choice. Seagate Expansion has two terabytes, allowing the user to download and quickly save many files - photos, songs, or videos - on the hard drive without problems. The hard disk is easily connected to a computer and is easy to use. It is also compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 devices.
SSD - hard disk is a large USB flash memory, different from flash drives. Large capacity, cache memory, and high speed are some of its features.
