WD Black D10 8TB 3.5 Desktop USB 3.2 External Hard Drive

Upgrade your computer’s storage with an external desktop hard drive from manufacturers such as WD and Seagate. Perfect for adding a large amount of storage to any computer, these drives are available in a variety of capacities, from 1TB to 8TB. External desktop hard drives utilise high-speed USB connectivity, making them compatible with many modern devices, such as PCs, laptops, tablets, and even gaming consoles. What’s more, many HDDs operate at speeds of up to 7200RPM, perfect for delivering read/write speeds of up to 250MB/s. Each HDD is enclosed in a durable case, designed to protect them in transit from everyday bumps. This makes an external desktop hard drive the ideal choice for securely transferring and backing up data.


Why Use an External Hard Drive?

There are many advantages to using an external hard drive to store your data. Here are just a few:

  • Extra Storage The main reason for utilising an external hard drive is to boost your storage capacity. If you have fully populated your internal storage, then an external drive is an easy means of adding a significant amount of additional storage. Plus, many models are user friendly, as they are plug and play via USB.
  • Secure Backups Many people require a way of keeping their important files safe, such as legal documents or family photos. An external HDD is an excellent way of doing this. By storing your data on an external drive, you have easy access to your important files and can protect them from malware attacks.
  • Data Transfer Sometimes transferring data between locations over a network is not feasible. An external hard drive is the perfect solution, offering high storage capacity for even the largest files and super-fast transfer speeds. Many gamers who participate in LAN events utilise external drives to store their gaming library, allowing them to transport their games easily between different PCs.
