What’s an external desktop drive?

External desktop drives are just like the hard drives inside your computer except they have their own enclosures. Usually they connect via USB to just about any device, Windows or Mac. Some models can also connect to your home network, though drives specifically for this use are called Network Attached Storage (NAS).

What storage capacities are available?

It’s easy to get a huge amount of hard drive space with an external desktop drive. Smaller models are in the 1-4TB range. Many models are available up to 16TB. If you’re backing up multiple computers or want to archive lots of video files, get the biggest drive you can afford.

A larger drive will also allow you to set up what’s called a RAID 1 array, which essentially saves your data twice on your single hard drive. While this decreases the total amount of storage space by half, you’ll have a better chance of recovering your data if there’s any issue with the drive in the future.

What interfaces are available?

Most external desktop drives connect with USB. Ideally, your computer will have USB 3.0 for fast transfer speeds. Some models have USB-C connections, but if your PC doesn’t have this, you can get a cable with USB-C on one end and the rectangular USB-A on the other.

Some models have Thunderbolt, which is common on Apple computers. A few have the eSATA interface, though these are more often saved for professional use.
