1. Compared to purchasing other computing equipment, buying an external hard disk is fairly uncomplicated. Essentially there are two principle categories of external disk available, namely desktop and portable.

Desktop disks have the highest capacities and the lowest cost per gigabyte but have to be specially powered from a mains voltage standard socket. Portable disks are lighter and smaller than their desk-top equivalents. This makes them a firm favorite if you will need to be transporting data from place to place, but they also cost more per gigabyte their capacities are lower than desktop disks.. The reason behind this is portable disks (SSDs) use a new flash disk type of technology which has only recently been made available at large storage capacities. It is also a good idea because some of these new SD disks can be used to speed up your PC, as well..

1. Most commonly external hard disks are connected to computers through one of their USB2 ports. This is fast enough for everyday use by most people. It would only be if you routinely transfer enormous quantities of data, such as hours of HD DVDs, that you might want to chooses a disk with a faster interface, such as the new USB3 system. Don't consider them otherwise, as they are usually more expensive than plain USB2 models. Also in most cases you would almost certainly have to upgrade your computer to take advantage of them.

There is also an option for older USB2 PCs. You can upgrade your desktop PC with a PCI Express USB3 card for around $40 USD, or if you have a laptop with an ExpressCard adaptor for around £50. And, just why is this a good idea? For the high data transfer user, this will save on waiting time while files are transferred. However, transfer rates are not as quick of the native USB3 slots provided in the latest new computers. Some disks have eSATA, FireWire 400, FireWire 800, so read the specification carefully to be sure of what you are buying.
