About External Hard Drives
Are you interested in streamlining your workflow and safeguarding your content? A reliable external hard drive could be the solution. External hard drives serve numerous purposes for the creative professional, from providing access to your media on multiple systems to organizing vast virtual instrument libraries for quick access.
The Benefits of an External Drive
What are external hard drives, and why should you invest in one? They're extra storage devices you can use to keep your computer’s drive from getting cluttered. Want to make hours of music without it affecting your system speed? These handy devices relieve your computer of accumulated data that can eventually start slowing it down. Want to keep all your existing work protected from potential damage? A system can crash at any moment, making it difficult to salvage your precious recordings if not properly backed up to an external drive.
Hard Drive Types Compared
What types of external hard drives are there? There are two main options: hard disk drives (HDD) and solid-state drives (SSD). Both options keep your data safe, with the main differentiator being how the data is stored. Hard disk drives are the more traditional type of drive, utilizing a spinning disk inside the enclosure to store your data. Solid-state drives have no moving parts and operate much like thumb drives.
Storage Capacities
When it comes to storage, capacity (size) is among the most important factors. That's why our selection includes devices offering a wide range of capacities — from simple single-enclosure drives up to multi-terabyte RAID arrays.
Connection Types
The functional speed of your external drive will be impacted by your connection protocol. Most drives today come with a variety of connection options on them, including USB, eSATA, Thunderbolt, and even FireWire. No matter what connectivity your computer has, we have a drive for you.
