Question

How do I transfer data from a computer to an external hard drive?

Answer 1

 It is easy to transfer data to an external hard drive, and using it will reduce the potential for data loss or corruption. Data can be backed on an external hard drive so that it doesn't take up room on a primary hard drive. In most cases, for you to transfer files, select the files on the computer you want to transfer, and copying them to the external drive.
