Most often having an ordinary internal hard disk drive inside, external HDDs naturally have the same capacities and offer more storage space as soon as the capacities of the internal models increase. Today we’re going to review two high-capacity external drives from Seagate and Maxtor. As you probably know, they are going to join their production potential in near future and make a single entity on the market, but as for today, the companies are still separate and we will be discussing their products under the two respective brands. The top external HDD model from Seagate is currently 400GB big as opposed to the storage capacity of 500GB of the top model from Maxtor, and we should keep this difference in mind as we compare the two products..
