High Accessibility (portable vs stationary, formatting, connections, storage)īefore we get into all of that, I want to tell you about the two types of drives you may come across: HDDs (Hard Disk Drives) and SSDs (Solid State Drives).High Capacity (amount of storage space available).High Quality (brand, durability, speed).Here is the criteria I use when choosing my hard drives: What you MUST do when choosing an external hard drive, is take into account your needs and wants to make sure it fits you and the way you work. They are just so much easier to work with, and wrap your head around as a beginner. And that is precisely why I always recommend external hard drives as digital hubs. No manufacturer pre-installs, and no clutter. You can hold it, and instantly know that all that’s there is what you put on it. There’s a lot of other stuff on your computer – programs, documents, music, and especially the clutter that’s conveniently *hidden* from plain sight, and only accessible by clicking on your little trashcan icon.
Think about it! If you keep your digital photos on your computer, do you really know WHERE inside it your photos are? Not really, right? You might know in what folder, but can you locate your computer’s internal hard drive? Not many people can…meaning that if something happens to your computer, the whole thing will have to go in for repair. It’s because they give my clients a TANGIBLE place to keep their photos in DIGITAL form. If you’ve followed me for a while, you know that I LOVE external hard drives! Now, let’s find out what a good hard drive really is + does, and what is takes to make it to the top of my list!
#PORTABLE HARD DRIVES FOR PHOTO STORAGE UPDATE#
I want you to understand why the drive you chose is good, what it can do for you, and how it’ll work, so if you have any other questions that I haven’t answered in this post, let me know, and I’ll be sure to update it! My goal with this post is to help you find a reliable drive that can keep your memories safe without yelling a bunch of jargon at you. I know first hand how confusing it can be to look at all the specs and try to figure out what’s good and what’s bad, so this is where I break down the basics for you in plain English.
