Warranty and what to check

Warranty terms depend on the brand. One brand's warranty page lists a two-year limited warranty on portable hard drives and USB drives, and a lifetime limited warranty on some of its products, so read the label before you buy. Extended warranties typically run one to three years beyond the standard period, so compare the cost with the value of your files. Some PC makers let you keep a failed hard drive before sending the computer for repair, so back up your files before any repair visit.

Season and heat

Singapore is hot and humid all year, with a wetter season and a drier one rather than winter and summer. November falls in the wetter part of the year, when humidity stays high. Keep drives in a dry, shaded place and never leave one in a parked car, where the heat builds up quickly.

Delivery and connections

Buyers in Singapore, Tampines, Jurong West, Woodlands and Ang Mo Kio can ask sellers for delivery to their address, and most listings quote a price per drive. Capacity is given in GB and TB, and listings show USB-C, USB 3.2, USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 connections. Check that the port on your laptop or PC matches the drive, because a USB 2.0 drive is much slower than a USB 3.0 or USB-C model. Ask whether the price includes delivery and whether the drive is new or used.

What to write in your request

Give the drive type (hard drive, SSD or flash drive), the capacity in TB or GB and the connection your device uses. Say whether you want a single drive or a network storage box with several bays for a home or office. Add the purpose, such as backups, photos or video editing, the number of units, the warranty length and your budget. Sellers can then propose the right drive without guessing.
