Most families have that one person that is obsessed with photography and every serious photographer should have a reliable external hard drive for storing their massive collection of images. What better way to show them how much you recognize the importance of their work by gifting them a tool that can keep those shots safe.
We researched a few hard drives to find the most favored that other photographers seem to be buying and have listed them below.
Both of these items have high reviews and are priced under $100.00.
Please note that the Toshiba drive listed above does not come Mac ready but is an easy setup. (under applications, you go to Utilities and open up Disk Utility. With the drive plugged in, select it and go to the Erase tab and there should be a drop-down menu with Format. Select Mac OS and click erase and after that’s done, the drive should be formatted for Mac and you can begin saving images to the drive.)
The drives listed above are portable and can make great stocking stuffers. Another idea is a desktop device that has been popular among photographers. Working with both Mac and PC’s with a 2TB of space, fitting nicely in a desk holder. All still affordable under the $100.00 price.
This device can be purchased currently from Amazon at $89.95 with free shipping for Prime members.
