Where to buy cheap hard drives?
Every day we generate gigabytes and gigabytes of information with our mobile photos, work files, university projects... Many of these data are never used again, but there are others that are important to us and it is more than advisable to make backups on one or more hard drives. On our portal you can get on offer PC components to protect your data, such as internal hard drives or SSD hard drives. In addition, you'll find other storage options and accessories, such as USB pen drives and hard drive enclosures. If you want to buy a hard drive, on Comparar.net you will find the offers you are looking for.
Types of external hard drive
When you are going to make the purchase of an external drive for storage, it is interesting to know that there are currently two widespread types. Below, we tell you the advantages and disadvantages of each type of product.
HDD
These are the storage drives that we are most used to seeing. It is the more traditional version of external hard drive and is commonly found in both laptops and desktop computers. Its technology consists of a series of magnetic disks spinning at full speed inside a hermetic box. A head is responsible for reading the data recorded on these disks as if it were a record player.
The acronym HDD refers to Hard Disk Drive and offer a large storage capacity, being able to get external drives of this type with several TB storage. In addition, their price is quite economical.
On the other hand, they offer a lower read speed and transfer speed than SSDs, can lose information when they are hit and use more energy.
SSD
SSDs are the evolution of traditional hard disks and use the technology of USB pins to work more securely and efficiently. Thanks to the flash memory, they offer higher transfer and reading speeds, with a much higher performance than previous technologies. They are often used in many laptops and towers because they make the computer's operating system go much faster and do not generate a bottleneck between processors and stored data.
However, it offers the disadvantage that they are quite more expensive and its storage capacity is not yet at HDD levels.
In the case of SSDs there are no moving or magnetized parts, so the loss of information by shocks does not usually occur, which makes this type of drives are considered much safer when storing data on a computer or outside it.
Important features of an external drive
One of the most important features when buying a hard drive is its storage capacity. This is usually expressed in GB or TB (1TB is the equivalent of 1000GB) and the higher the capacity, the higher the price of the product. However, it is important to know that some gigabytes are cheaper than others. Traditional hard drives usually offer a large storage capacity for a low price, while solid-state drives offer a higher price with a lower storage capacity.
This is due to other key features: the read speed and transfer speed. On traditional drives it is between 50 and 150 MB/s, while on solid-state drives it goes up to 200 and even 550 MB/s. This very high transfer speed allows backups, booting the operating system, etc., work much faster to be able to store millions of data in a matter of nanoseconds. Therefore, when looking for hard drive offers it is very important to look at the transfer speed and not just the TB offered by the product.
External hard drive brands
When buying an external storage unit is interesting to know which are the leading brands in the sector.
Seagate
It is an American company specializing in the manufacture of hard drives. It was founded in 1979 and its storage drives are used in laptops, servers, PCs and even other devices such as Microsoft's Xbox. It is a very reputable brand for backups and nowadays even offers cloud storage services.
SanDisk
This brand also specializes in data storage, although they are dedicated to the manufacture and development of flash memory devices. It is common to find USB flash drives from this brand, as well as memory cards, and you can get SanDisk external hard drives with a large storage capacity, both for individuals and professionals. By specializing in flash memory, this brand owned a large part of the patents for SSD drives, and so in 2015 the company was acquired by Western Digital.
Western Digital
This is another American company specializing in the manufacture of hard drives and, as we have said, currently owns SanDisk. From the Western Digital brand (often simply called WD) you can find all kinds of external hard drives, including drives specially designed for backups, with dual copy, automatic copy with various computer and laptop operating systems, etc.
Toshiba
This Japanese brand is dedicated to the manufacture of electronic devices, including televisions and laptops. In addition, in the section of data storage offers interesting solutions, from SD drives and microSD to USB drives, passing of course external and internal hard drives for computer and laptop both the brand Toshiba and third-party brands.
