How Much Hard Disk Space Do You Need?

HDDs come in various sizes, including very large ones. 500GB is considered to be the absolute minimum, although even 2TB is far from unusual.

For magnetic disks, speed is determined by their RPM (Revolutions per Minute). Slower and cheaper disks spin at 5400 RPM, while the faster and more expensive ones have a speed of 7200 RPM. The overall data copy/transfer speed is also influenced by the interface, for example, USB 2.0 can hardly surpass USB 3.0. This external HDD features a USB 3,0 (3,1 gen1) connector.
