So you are a movie buff, downloading movies every other day on your laptop until one day it surrenders to accommodate any more and you rush to get a portable hard drive.

We, at Conrad deal with a whole gamut of electronic products for all sorts of requirements, be it electromagnets and passive components for your engineering needs or software and hardware tools for office work. Here are some of our tips to help you choose the right portable hard drive. 
 
One of the first things to consider while looking for an external hard drive is the storage capacity of the same. If you are into loads of downloading of movies and videos, choosing a higher-capacity drive is the wisest thing to do. We have Hard Drives of a range of storage capacities starting from 160 Gigabytes to 750 Gigabytes to models that possess as much as 1.5 Terabytes capacity for storing. Second, check out the speed of transferring data from your computer. Those rummaging for a Hard Drive to act as storage device for large Multimedia files will do well to opt for faster transferring speeds.
However, if you want a Drive for acting as a backup for your stored files a more or less normal transfer speed will suffice. Talking about backup, it is always worthwhile to go for a Hard Drive with backup and recovery features which enables you to recover the damaged or lost data. The connectivity of the Drive is another thing that requires paying attention. For this check out the kind of Drive Interface the device has.
