External Hard Drives?

When choosing an external hard drive first consider how much capacity you are going to need. Generally a 1 terabyte external hard drive is more than enough space for the average consumer. Also check which type of connectivity the external hard drive uses. USB 2.0 is the usual standard, some hard drives can connect via Firewire (if your computer has the port) which is generally faster than USB. It's also wise to choose an external hard drive with some sort of warranty as some can unfortunately be defective, so it pays to have a warranty handy.
