6 REASONS WHY AN EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE/DISK IS A MUST HAVE

Let's say you're a heavy media consumer, you download movies, and music online and you have a computer full of Word and Excel files. You not only need a  backup location for them but also a storage location that frees up your laptop/desktop space so as not to slow down your PC.




Apart from the above, below are some other reasons as to why you need a hard drive.

1. Every computer needs an external hard drive to store its entire original operating systems, user info and programs. Computers break down. It's not a matter of if your internal hard drive will break down; it's a matter of when. And it will. Having your videos, pictures and other large files copied to an external hard drive is one safe way of backing things up.

2. Portability. External hard drives are well made these days and easy to transport in their design. If you must travel, having an external drive is like bringing your desktop with you. Just plug it in and the computer will assign it and designate it. It's a piece of cake to run files back and forth between computers.

3. With the dawn of the Internet come increasing security threats on all fronts. Viruses and spyware can still get through the firewalls and fight off the antivirus programs. So your files are still at risk.

4.  Proper back up for different users. In many households there are multiple users on a single computer so things get lost easily. Dad might have saved an important PDF to send off to work and it got deleted because his son didn't realize what it was and why it wound up in his folder. Things get accidentally sent to the trash.

5. Sensitive documents. Anything like a legal document is better stored externally. You can also lock up the drive in a safe.


6. Long-term storage. Your pictures, or jpgs or videos or wave files are files and they are your negatives and master copies. Having them stored externally will ensure they are around a long time.
