Shop Hard Drives & Accessories on Bob Shop

Hard drives are hardware components which store all of the necessary digital content of your computer such as the operating system, programs, software, as well as your precious documents, pictures, music, videos and other files. 

Hard drives can be either external or internal and can be further classified as hard disk drives (HDD) or solid-state drives (SSD). The type of hard drive you buy will depend on your personal needs. Whatever those needs may be, you will find an abundance of reasonably-priced hard drives to meet them on Bob Shop. 

These are the types of drives you can find:

External Drives: There’s no beating these drives when it comes to convenience -  they are portable and are typically very lightweight. In addition to this, they make data transfer much easier as they can be connected to multiple different computers.

Besides conveniently storing your files and accessing them on-the-go, external hard drives offer you the capability to back up your files in the event that your computer's internal hard drive is damaged or corrupted. 

Internal Drives: The great thing about desktops is that they usually come with ample space to store your documents and media. All too often however, those documents and media files accumulate and take up all the available disk space on your computer. When this happens, you can invest in an internal hard drive to provide additional space, since Internal hard drives can be easily replaced and upgraded to keep a computer running smoothly.

Solid State Drives: Solid state drives (SSDs) are drives which use flash memory, as opposed to traditional hard disk drives which include small moving parts. Because SSD’s have no moving parts, they run considerably more quietly, deliver superior performance and consume less power than hard disk drives. SDD’s are also typically more durable than their hard-drive counterparts. 

NAS & Enterprise Drives: Network-attached storage (NAS) is a storage device connected to a network, which allows storage and retrieval of data from a central location for multiple users. NAS devices are popular for enterprises and small businesses because they offer centralised data storage in a safe, convenient way. Having a NAS device means that file sharing across your computer network is much easier and you can reliably backup all the devices on your network.
