For the videographer, some of the above manufacturers even have external hard drives with as much 500 Gig of digital memory storage in their portable hard drives which is perfect for people who want to do a lot of video work.  USB External drives are the easiest to use on your computer.  Just plug and play and you have a whole new disk drive on your computer system.  For video use, the entire external drive could be stored as a project is built freeing up work space and computer desk space while you work on other computer data projects.  Another good way for video crews to use your external drive is to transfer the control of the drive to other workers as the computer video project moves from one phase to the other.
