Storage on a disk, be it a hard drive or portable drive, is fixed and cannot be changed. The content of the drive can be altered, compressed, defragmentated or deleted to make room on the disc. If someone wishes to increase the storage of their PC, but feels uncomfortable opening the case and dealing with the insides, external hard drives are a perfect solution. External drives are offered in varying capacity and most only need to be plugged into the computer's USB port and a power source to be ready for use.
