Abstract: The reason for my question and my personal reminiscence is the result of a hard drive arriving for review. Rather then the internal type I was looking for years ago, this drive was an external drive. It was a 3TB model and formed part of the Western Digit...

After having looked at a total of fifteen drives, we can conclude that the Seagate Backup Plus Fast 4 TB is the most interesting from a technical point of view. It also performs very well, thanks to its two disks in RAID 0. We awarded this drive the Har...

Abstract: Most new computers don't come with much storage space -- unless you're splurging on a high-end model, they usually have 256 or 512 gigabytes. Game consoles such as the PS4 and Xbox One come with 1-terabyte drives (which is roughly 1,000GB), but if you don't regularly take games off the drive as you acquire more, the drives max out easily. A good storage solution is to find the best external hard drive for your needs. A traditional hard drive that uses "old" hard drive technology (mechanical platters and a moving read-write head to access data) is adequate for the majority of users, thanks to speedier USB-C and USB 3.0 (as well as 3.1/3.2) interfaces. Prices have dropped significantly in the last few years, with even mega-capacity models tipping the scales at 5TB but costing just over $100. A solid state drive doesn't have moving parts and has up to four times faster read speeds, but it costs a lot more per gigabyte.
