Casual users who only keep documents, movies, and pictures will find 1TB or 2TB drives useful.
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Avoid large files with USB 2.0, as the outdated technology is significantly slower.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.
Look for a reinforced military-grade casing HDD if you travel more frequently, as they are more durable.

Some of the latest HDDs even come with fingerprint authentication for another layer of protection.
Check to see if the HDD works with Windows, macOS, Linux, or your gaming console.
Some pre-installed HDDs work only with Windows (NTFS format) and Mac users may need to reformat it into ExFAT or HFS+.
Certain models come with automatic backup tools, cloud storage integration, and one-click backup features (e.g. WD My Book, Seagate Backup Plus).
Such features come in handy for business professionals and skilled workers with sensitive data.
One of the major considerations when buying portable HDDs is the warranty and after-sales of the product.
