Another option would be a hybrid drive, giving you the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n<p>SDXC cards are also a decent solution for users that don&#8217;t require a lot of speed, but could use an extra amount of storage for documents, photos, and video.<\/p>\n<p>External storage drives using USB 2.0, Thunderbolt, FireWire, and eSATA are also widely available at various price points. Portable external drives offer great portability and storage capacity these days.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s my answer, what&#8217;s yours?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lockergnome.com\/news\/2011\/10\/13\/are-5-tb-external-drives-coming-soon-from-seagate\/\" target=\"_blank\">Learn More<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/br><\/p>\n<p><b>About Chris:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/chris.pirillo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Chris Pirillo<\/a> is the founder of the tech blogging network, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lockergnome.com\" target=\"_blank\">Lockergnome<\/a> and previously served as host of TechTV&#8217;s Call for Help show.
