Every technological upgrade for digital photo, video, and sound equipment inevitably leads to larger file sizes. Rather than filling up and bogging down your computer's internal memory, it’s wise to invest in an external portable drive.
Portable drives are smaller, lighter, and more rugged than desktop external drives. Few portable drives require a dedicated power source, so you don’t have to worry about looking for a power outlet when you’re on-the-go.
Storage Capacity
External portable drives have higher storage capacity than ever before. While most compact drives used to max out at 500GB or 1TB, it’s common to find affordable drives with capacities of up to 8TB.
When you’re working with very large files, a larger storage capacity will give you plenty of room for future storage. Photographers with professional quality digital cameras or videographers who record 4K or higher resolution footage should investigate purchasing hard drives in the 4TB, 5TB, or 8TB range.
Useful Features in External Portable Drives
No two external portable drives are the same. Select the features that matter most so you can feel confident your data is secure.
Encryption
When you’re worried about protecting sensitive data, you may want to consider investing in an external portable drive with included encryption software. Western Digital, Seagate, and LaCie all offer encrypted models to ensure your data is protected at all times.
Rugged Case
Accidents happen, no matter how careful you are with your gear. Fortunately, many external hard drives feature rugged, weather-sealed, and shock-resistant designs. Carry your drive everywhere life takes you, knowing you’ll never suffer a physically damaged hard drive.
Software
Remembering to backup your data is a struggle for many of us. That’s why it helps to choose an external portable drive with automatic backup software preinstalled.
Interface and Operating System Compatibility
Make the most of your computer’s fastest USB ports. Whether you’re looking for a drive with USB, USB-C, or Thunderbolt connections, you have plenty of options to choose from.
While you can easily format most hard drives to work with Mac, PC, or both operating systems, some customers prefer to purchase a hard drive that’s already formatted for their system and ready to go. Choose from pre-programmed Mac and PC options.
Top Brands for External Portable Drives
Don’t trust just any brand with your important files. For the greatest peace of mind, consider external drives by LaCie, Seagate, Western Digital, SanDisk Professional, Transcend, and other top brands.
