External storage devices are devices where one can store data from the computer and can be controlled by the computer but not necessarily integrated within the computer itself. These are removable devices that can be shared by multiple computers. The USB, SSD, memory cards, external hard drives and optical drives are examples of such external storage devices. There are different benefits of external storage devices and here are just some of them.
1. Add or expand the capacity of different devices.
Some devices such as laptops have very small memory space and are very slow. One can be able to make the devices work faster by adding more storage to it.
2. Move large amounts of data from one device to the other.
Some external storage devices have bigger capacity than the others and can even store and backup movie sequences and more. For example, you can use a USB to store important documents that are too confidential to send online then ship the USB to your boss who could be on a vacation.
3. Use numerous operating systems in one computer.
Some software developers and programmers are required to use different operating systems in order for them to work on different kinds of projects. Instead of using different PCs, they use external storage devices which have different OS installed in them.
4. Computer can be used by several people.
If you have important configuration in the computer and do not want anyone to touch it, however there is only one computer in your house - the solution? Use external storage devices. Each person using the same PC can have his or her own external drive. This way, you would all be ensured that all the files that you are storing and all the configuration you want on your system would not be damaged by the other users of the PC.
5. To back up data from the hard drive.
Although not all the external storage devices can handle the capacity of most large hard drives, some of them can. Removable hard disks are the most appropriate for backing up a whole system. However, you can use smaller devices like the SSD or USB to backup separate data such as video, audio and word files.
6. To secure data.
Some files can be too sensitive to leave lying on the computer. Removable storage devices can be used to store those kinds of data. Some devices can also be password protected for better security.
7. For storing data.
This is the most obvious use of the devices. You can be able to store large or small amounts of data in the devices depending on their capacity size. A high capacity USB can store movies, images and a collection of songs at the same time. Bigger external storage devices like NAS are used to support networks or small business servers.
