While this laptop comes with a 128GB eMMC internal drive, in this deal, you get an additional 512GB external solid-state drive (SSD), all just above $250. To me, this sounds like a big win.

It uses external drives, but instead of plugging them directly into your laptop, you can use them wirelessly over Wi-Fi. Compared to cloud storage, a NAS can offer better privacy and security.

HP is one of the best laptop brands, ... It also has 128GB of storage, so you’ll have enough room for some photo and video projects before needing external hard drive deals to expand your storage.

It’s not the end of the road for hard disk drives though; they are still very useful as external HDD storage where they still carry the best value for money especially at very high capacities ...
