Which hard disks do you prefer for storing your data? Internal or external? What are the advantages and disadvantages of both according to you.

I prefer internal HDD for storing data.

Samsung is excellent in my opinion. As I use Samsung HDD.

For external storage drives, I'll choose Transcend.

I use seagate for internal hard disk and I just bought a Transcend external hard disk a week ago.

I use both. An external HDD is useful for backing up your computer, and reduces the chance of important data being lost.

Yes an external hard disk is always handy in backing up all the data in the computer which cannot be done with a single DVD. One has to use lots of DVDs in order to back up all the data in the computer.

I use CD storage. But I often use the internal storage of my laptop. Then after a while I would burn them on a CD. I have an external HD but I just use it for transferring large files. I usually burn on CD's for long storage of data.

hi adtiya,
I prefer keeping my data on dvds and not much on hard drive of computer as the computer windows can get corrupt and there can be virus also and sometimes whold CPU of the computer may give away and then keep running after the computer guys to get the data from ur computer disk so i prefer dvds to keep my data. Also one benefit is i can take my data anywhere and use it while not so with my desktop.

With external hard disks also you can take your data anywhere as they are portable and can store lots of data .
