SATA and External Hard Drives?

The first option is to replace the SATA hard drive that is inside a desktop PC or laptop. The second option is to use an external hard drive. No matter which choice is selected, the most important feature is the total memory capacity. Both type of hard drives usually have enough space for at least several hundred Gigabytes (GB.) Several Terabytes (TB) is typically the limit of most modern hard drives. Installing a SATA hard drive is more difficult than plugging in an external USB hard drive. The SATA type requires some manipulation of the power cables connected to the motherboard and computer's power supply.
