Abstract: Most new computers don't come with much storage space -- unless you're splurging on a high-end model, they usually have 256 or 512 gigabytes. Game consoles such as the PS4 and Xbox One come with 1-terabyte drives (which is roughly 1,000GB), but if you don't regularly take games off the drive as you acquire more, the drives max out easily. A good storage solution is to find the best external hard drive for your needs. A traditional hard drive that uses "old" hard drive technology (mechanical platters and a moving read-write head to access data) is adequate for the majority of users, thanks to speedier USB-C and USB 3.0 (as well as 3.1/3.2) interfaces. Prices have dropped significantly in the last few years, with even mega-capacity models tipping the scales at 5TB but costing just over $100. A solid state drive doesn't have moving parts and has up to four times faster read speeds, but it costs a lot more per gigabyte.

Abstract: There's a lot to love about Western Digital hard drives. They last for years, are super durable, and work as they should straight out the box. So that looks to continue with their latest fleet of products that launched today!Available today, Western Digit...
As it turns out, it is true that a 10TB hard drive can be had for under AU$250 delivered, when it's on sale. This is the first helium drive in my collection and passed all tests flawlessly, although longevity is yet to be proven. As it has a 5400RPM spind...

In my honest opinion, WD My Book is a great solution for everyone simply because it is very easy to use and set up (unlike NAS), there are a variety of storage capacity to choose from, and it comes with its very own backup software which means you don't n...
