External Hard disks are one of the major accessories of a computer system. It can be used to take a backup of your computer data, or it can be used to store files when your computer’s hard disk does not have enough space.

Choose a Hard Drive which provides you at least 3-5 years of warranty so that you can store/backup your files on it without any fear of losing it for a longer period of time.
Never use any other wires/cables to connect your Hard Drive to your computer. Always use the pre-included cables for faster transfers and stability.
Always use safely remove feature to remove your Hard Drive from your computer. This would prevent your Hard Drive from sudden crashes and slower speeds at some points.
Next, you should keep your Hard Drive at a stable place where it can’t be displaced from its position. Also, never move/displace it while it is connected to your computer.
