External Storage
Whether your laptop is running low on storage or you need a more permanent, reliable place to save photos, videos, and other files, owning an external hard drive will help you sleep at night.
The good news is that storage is now extremely cheap—to the point where you can buy a 5TB HDD for only $100. I recommend going with at least 1TB, which will run you about $50. If you need a rugged option for fieldwork or taking with you during travel, the Adata HD710 is an affordable option. You could also go the SSD route for faster data transfer speeds, but these cost more per GB.
