Collection: External Storage
External Storage
Modern games, media files and project backups consume enormous amounts of space, and our external storage collection ensures you never run out of room. External storage encompasses portable solid‑state drives (SSDs) and hard disk drives (HDDs) that connect via USB 3.2, USB‑C or Thunderbolt. SSDs offer blistering transfer rates—often exceeding 1,000 MB/s on NVMe‑based drives—while remaining shock‑resistant and compact. Portable HDDs provide larger capacities up to 5 TB or more at a lower cost per gigabyte, making them ideal for archiving game libraries, videos and photos. Many models include ruggedised casings that protect against drops, vibration and weather, plus encryption software to keep your data secure.
Within this category, you’ll find ultra‑portable drives that slip into a pocket, desktop drives with external power supplies for maximum capacity, and game drives licensed for consoles. Some drives support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 or Thunderbolt 3 for speeds up to 20 Gb/s or 40 Gb/s, while others use USB 3.2 Gen 1 for universal compatibility. Capacities start at 256 GB for quick file transfers, but most gamers opt for 1 TB to 2 TB as a sweet spot, and professional creators may need 4 TB or more. We also offer multi‑drive RAID enclosures and NAS devices that combine redundancy and scalability, as well as accessories like protective cases and cable organisers.
External storage is perfect for expanding the capacity of consoles and laptops that can’t accept internal upgrades. Game drives allow you to store dozens of titles without deleting old favourites. Photographers and videographers can back up on location, while office users can keep client files portable. The versatility of plug‑and‑play drives makes them indispensable for anyone who works or plays on the go. Top brands in our line‑up include Western Digital, Seagate, Samsung, SanDisk and Verbatim, each with proven reliability and comprehensive warranties. Many drives are formatted for Windows or consoles but can be easily re‑formatted for macOS or Linux.
