The best part about many of these deals is that hard drives are becoming more affordable than ever. You can even take your storage on the go as many hard drives are small enough to fit in a pocket or a backpack. Many people like to rely on cloud storage, but you won’t have to worry about subscription fees or the internet going down with a physical hard drive.
