Professionals who store large video files, software backups, or robust working libraries may find 4TB+ more ideal.
To lower the frequency of upgrades, plan for additional storage requirements.
Using USB 3.0, 3.1, or USB-C connections enables faster (5Gbps or more) file transfers with higher efficiency.
Avoid large files with USB 2.0, as the outdated technology is significantly slower.
Premium HDDs that incorporate hybrid technology SSD-like features are becoming more frequent.
Standard HDDs that lack rigid casing can be broken easily through unintentional drops. However, the Transcend StoreJet and Adata HD series are better known for being shockproof, waterproof, and dustproof.

Such features come in handy for business professionals and skilled workers with sensitive data.
