Having an external hard disk to support the hard disk that your system houses is imperative and that is because there is a whole of data that needs to be stored and your internal hard disk and you may just fall short of space. But with an external hard disk, you can have all your data stored in one place and you just need to carry it around and connect it to any system and “Poof”, all your data is available on that system. Here are the top 5 best external hard disk drive.

This hard drive will make the creation of the backup of all your data really easy as fast as well. You also have the option of formatting the entire hard disk and then use it as a support drive for the internal hard disk. It has a capacity of 1TB and that is more than enough for you to store all your movies, songs, pictures, documents etc. Also, the drive only makes use of the USB for power and that adds to its portability.


Freecom – TOUGH DRIVE 3.0 1TB

The name of this external hard drive gives out almost all the information that you would want about it. If you are intrigued about the name, as in the “Tough” part, it just means that the hard drive is rugged and it can withstand a fall of upto 2mts. It has a storage capacity of 1 TB and that is lot of space for you. What you do not get from the name is that it has the USB3.0 integration and thus, the data transfer is lightning fast and creating backup is a child’s play.

This external hard disk drive has a capacity that is lesser than the ones that I have mentioned above and it has been designed only for Apple devices, thus it has a sleek design that will enhance the look of your device. It has an inbuilt USB3.0 port and thus data transfer takes place in a matter of seconds and the best part is that the port is downwards compatible which means that it can be connected to a USB2.0 port with a USB cable and it will work just fine.

This solid state drive is one that will be liked by those who do not really need one that has a lot of storage space as they do not have a lot of data to store. The drive comes in 90GB, 120GB, 240GB and 480GB variants. There is an upgradation kit, a screwdriver and cloning software that comes bundled along with the drive and it is powered by a SandForce SF-2281 processor. Also, it has the USB power connection and does not drain the system of charge when in use.

This hard drive from Transcend can store data upto 1TB and is pretty efficient. It has the USB2.0 integration and that is the only discouraging factor of the drive. There is a power saving mode that is present and that lasts for 10 minutes, which is more than enough time for transferring data. The device is protected by a solid encasing and thus it is safe from shocks and jerks. The best part is that it does not require any driver installation unlike most external solid state drivers.
