External desktop drives are currently available with capacities up to 10TB (single drive models) but after testing the excellent D2 Thunderbolt 3 model by LaCie today we decided to thoroughly test the far more 'affordable' Backup Plus Hub 8TB Desktop Storage by our friends over at Seagate.įounded in 1979, Seagate is the leading provider of hard drives and storage solutions. Now although for most people even a portable disk drive (or two) may just be sufficient to cover their needs for some their somewhat 'limited' capacity (up to 5TB for portable models currently) automatically means they will need to turn towards a external desktop drive. One of the things i always recommend to friends is for them to never forget to backup all their extremely important files (like work data and/or family pictures and videos) not just in one but two separate external drives if possible since you really can never be too careful with these things.
