Finding a Portable Hard Drive That Fits Your Setup
An external hard drive is a practical way to store large amounts of data, whether that is a full computer backup, an archive of family photos or a games library. Think about how much you need to keep, which devices it will connect to and whether it will travel with you.
Explore Related Storage
- Data Storage: Head back to laptops-computers/data-storage">data storage to compare drives, cards and flash storage.
- Solid state drives: Consider a portable SSD if a smaller, lighter drive matters more than capacity.
- USB drives: Pick up a USB flash drive for quick file sharing.
- Laptops: Browse laptops if you are setting up a new computer alongside your backup drive.
Features to Compare in a Hard Drive
- Capacity: Product names show examples such as 1TB, 2TB, 4TB and 5TB. Usable capacity is lower than the stated capacity.
- Connection: Some models list USB 3.0 and others USB-C. Check the included cable and your computer's ports.
- Mac or Windows formatting: Some My Passport models are labelled for Mac. Most drives can be reformatted, but check the listing for supported operating systems.
- Console use: P10 Game Drive models are designed for storing games on compatible consoles. Check the supported console models.
- Backup and security tools: Software and password features vary by model, so review the product details.
- Colour and size: Several drives come in multiple colours. Dimensions vary by capacity and model.
How to Choose the Right Hard Drive
- Work out your storage needs: Add up what you want to back up and allow space for it to grow.
- Match the connector: Choose USB-A or USB-C to suit the device you will plug into most.
- Check compatibility: Confirm the drive works with your operating system or console.
- Plan a backup routine: No drive is immune to failure, so keep important files in more than one place.
The range features brands such as WD (Western Digital), Samsung and Seagate.

Hard Drives FAQs
Do portable hard drives need a power adaptor?
Most portable models draw power through the USB cable, but requirements vary by model. Check the product specifications.
Can I use one drive on both Mac and Windows?
Often yes, though you may need to reformat it or use a shared file system. Reformatting erases data, so copy files off first.
Will a hard drive work with my game console?
Some drives, such as the P10 Game Drive, are designed for console storage. Check which consoles and game types are supported on the listing.
How should I look after a portable hard drive?
Hard drives have moving parts, so avoid dropping them or moving them while in use, and always eject the drive safely before unplugging.
Is one external drive enough for backups?
A single drive is a good start, but keeping a second copy elsewhere adds protection if one drive is lost or fails.
