You need to copy a very large set of files from a desktop PC to a portable storage device so the data can be opened on several other computers. Which storage solution would allow you to complete this transfer most efficiently?
A high-capacity external hard drive connects over USB and provides multi-terabyte storage, letting you move large datasets quickly between systems without relying on Internet speeds. Cloud storage can be slow for very large uploads, USB flash drives usually offer less capacity for the price, and CDs/DVDs hold only a few gigabytes at most and are rarely used for bulk transfers today.
