There are a number of really great benefits that you can enjoy with the purchase of an external hard drive. Not only can you use an external hard drive for storing music and movies, but you can use it as a "drag and drop" storage option when you're using some of the more involved media editing software out there. However, depending on what you're going to use your hard drive for, you may need to take a few special features into consideration in order to get the most out of your hard drive.
For example, if you are only using your external hard drive for long-term storage that you don't plan on accessing very regularly, then you won't have any trouble finding the right equipment for the job. However, if you are planning on using the hard drive often or for media applications, then you need to put a little more thought into what you buy. There are some models that have older USB ports on them that don't have a high rate of transfer. This can mean you're sitting around forever waiting for your files to upload and download. The models that have these older USB ports will generally have a firewire cable port that will speed things up a bit, but if your computer doesn't have a firewire port as well then that doesn't help you at all. Because of this, it's really in your best interest to find a model that has a more updated USB port model, so you can enjoy a much faster upload and download speed. This is especially true if you're using the external hard drive for temporary storage while you're uploading and editing video or music files. These files are notoriously large and slow to upload, so having the right port can really save you a whole lot of headaches and frustration.
There are a lot of different types of external hard drive models out there these days. The storage capacity of these newer models in relation to some of the earlier ones is unbelievably huge, and you can often get away with only purchasing one 3TB hard drive and never having to buy another.
