There are many different kinds of external hard drives available, so, to make it easier for you and to save you time, I have categorized the hard drives I’ll go over into HDDs (traditional spinning disk hard drives), SSDs (solid-state drives), and USB powered vs AC powered. What might be a good external hard drive investment for one person might not make sense for you and vice versa.

The most important thing to remember when picking out an external hard drive is that everyone’s needs and uses are different.
