Despite the cloud and central company servers, portable storage media are still essential. They allow you to have your data at hand quickly and securely – no matter where or on which device.
Here’s a short overview of the range of external data carriers available for mobile use in the work environment – including their main differences as well as a selection of the most popular products among our business customers.
External hard drives
Traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) are still the most sought-after solution among external storage media in the business environment. A portable hard drive is an easy way to have large amounts of data available when you’re on the go. They’re also great for exchanging data between devices. Thanks to their large storage capacities, you can also use them to keep a data backup in an off-site location.
For fast data processing performance, at least the USB 3.0 standard should be supported. Many hard drives already feature a USB Type-C port, which is the default on current laptops.
Here are some of the most popular external hard drives with our business customers:

They fit in your pocket and are compatible with almost every laptop or desktop. On top of this, they’re very robust. Their storage capacity ranges up to 1000 GB and the read and write speeds also reach an ultra-fast 1000 MB/s – thanks to USB3.2.
