In this tutorial, we will introduce the best approach for you.
Particularly with the advent of USB, external hard disks have become widely available and inexpensive. External hard disk drives currently cost less per gigabyte than flash drives and are available in larger capacities. Some hard drives support alternative and faster interfaces than USB 2.0. For consecutive sector writes and reads (for example, from an unfragmented file), most hard drives can provide a much higher sustained data rate than current NAND flash memory, though mechanical latencies seriously impact hard drive performance.
External hard disk drives typically connect via USB; variants using USB 2.0 interface generally have slower data transfer rates when compared to internally mounted hard drives connected through SATA.
Why we like to use External Hard Drive
- External storage devices provides additional storage other than that available in computer.
- Data can be transported easily from one place to another.
- It is useful to store software and data that is not needed frequently.
- External storage also works as data back up.
- This back up may prove useful at times such as fire or theft because important data is not lost.
