What to Consider When Buying a Gaming External Hard Disk

When buying an external hard disk for gaming, there are a few factors that you need to consider to ensure you get a hard disk that will ensure the best possible performance and experience when using the hard disk.

Storage Capacity

External hard disks offer various storage capacities. What works for you depends on how often you need to do your backups or how aggressively you will use the hard disk. A good rule of thumb is to go for something slightly bigger than your internal hard drive.

Durability

Your hard drive will potentially carry all your gaming information and setups. The last thing you want is a hard disk that will fail and destroy all your data. A good gaming hard disk should be durable and have an extended warranty of about 2-3 years.

Transfer Speed

Transfer speed is a vital aspect, especially when dealing with large files that might take a while to transfer. To determine the transfer speed, you need to check the storage technology of the hard disk and the connectors it uses. SSD drives have better processing speeds than HDD alternatives.

For connectors, USB 3.0 should be the most basic option you go for. However, the more expensive varieties have more advanced ports like the USB 3.1 and the Thunderbolt 3, which boasts of transfer speeds of up to 40Gbps.

HDD or SSD

There is a thin line between which of the two options you choose. While HDDs offer more storage space, they have slower transfer speeds while SSDs have higher transfer speeds and lower storage capacity. It's up to you to decide which of the two factors is more critical for you.

Security

Even if you intend to use the external drive alone, it's essential to have some protection to ensure your data is safe. Data encryption is a good idea, and some drives come with compatible software encryption.

You can take security a notch higher by going for a drive that offers hardware encryption or have physical security system like a pin-code
