Tech Talk – External Hard Drive

External Hard DriveMultimedia files – especially uncompressed video files – can take up a lot of hard drive space on a computer, and many users quickly exceed the space on their internal hard drive. An external drive is an easy way to increase hard-drive space without installing a new internal hard drive. An external drive can also be used as a backup drive in case your computer’s drive becomes corrupted or unstable.

Backing up data to multiple CDs or DVDs can be cumbersome, often requiring several discs, but an external hard drive can hold much more data.
