To keep your laptop as portable as possible, but increase the storage capacity to as much as a powerful PC, buying an external hard drive may be the answer. You can store and share extensive amounts of data, in some cases, in a hard drive matching the size of a passport. We have every kind of external hard drive to meet your needs, ranging from a capacity of under 79GB to over 5TB.
If you have an
Apple Mac computer, we have a range of Apple compatible external hard drives, so you can store thousands of gigabytes worth of music, movies, documents and data separately from your PC.
The Apple Time Capsule is a top of the range wireless hard drive which works with Mac OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard, and there are models which can store up to 3 terabytes, which you are unlikely to exceed! The lack of cables means this
device is super-portable and the simultaneous dual band Wi-Fi base station means you will have maximum range and compatibility, so all devices working off the same network will automatically use the most efficient band. Because this hard drive is wireless, it means you can access it instantly, and if you are an iCloud member with Mac OS X Lion, you can even access your files over the internet. The best news is that this Time Capsule is compatible with the iPad,
iPhone, Apple TV and the iPod Touch. Prices start from around £265, but who can put a price on a lifetime of memories?
If you are looking for something more universally compatible and super-portable, then My Passport from
Western Digital is the pocket sized warehouse for your digital life. It is literally the size of a passport, and is available in capacities from 500GB to 2TB. This powerful yet compact storage device is also really affordable, with lower capacity models available online from under £50. With the universal USB cable, this is compatible to most laptops and PCs, however if you want something specifically for your desktop PC, with more power, speed and storage capacity, the Western Digital Elements Desktop can meet all your needs. And again, it is affordable with prices starting from £60 for 1TB capacity. It’s fast, quiet, and easy to install and to use, with simple drag and drop functionality.
If you are looking for something to store and transport sensitive information, we have found the stylish DataLocker from Origin Storage Solutions which is a leader in its field. If you require advanced security
and mobility, then this secure concept will keep all your data protected with a unique PIN number. Although your data will be safe, the capacity of these Origin DataLocker devices cannot match other brands, and the cost is much higher than other models which are less secure, prices start from around £190 for 320GB, however, it all depends on what your priorities are.
