Best External Drives
October 21, 2019
Everybody needs more storage for their computer systems. You may use an external drive for backup purposes or as additional storage for music and photos. PCWorld rated several external drives and gives its suggestions for the best pieces of hardware to purchase. It really depends on what you intend to do with the drive, but here are the top three recommendations.
- WD My Passport 5TB: Best external backup drive
- Samsung T5 SSD: Best external performance drive
- Samsung Portable SSD X5: Best portable Thunderbolt 3 drive
As is expected, the Thunderbolt 3 drive is pretty pricey. My best "bang for the buck" drive is the Western Digital My Passport model line, which is what I use for backup.
