Answer 2

There are typically two types of hard drives. The first is the internal hard drive which runs the computer or other technological devices. The second is an external model that does the same thing.

Answer 3

An external hard drive is connected externally to your computer by connecting to the computer's USB interface (USB powered) or the eSata or the FireWire (FireWire speeds are the fatest). Consumers buy external hard drives because they are small, compact and "portable" - you can easily take your data with you from one computer to the next. They are typically more expensive than internal hard drives. External hard drives are categorized as portable and external. The portable include the pocket hard drive (size of a credit card), the passport hard drive (size of a passport) and the 2.5" desktop (size of a novel - a laptop hard disk). The external include the much bigger 3.5" desktop hard drive (size of a large novel - a desktop hard disk). The 3.5" desktop includes a separate power supply adapter you plug into the wall outlet and then of course, the cable to connect to the USB port.
