External hard drives are the best way to boost your machine's storage capacity.

22 MEDIA MASTERS
When you're out and about and a laptop is too big to whip out for entertainment, your only other option is a portable media player. Over the years these devices have evolved to offer features such as photo and video playback, eBook reading capabilities in addition to standard FM and MP3 playback. Some of these devices can also double as voice recorders and even offer useful expansion options in the form of upgradeable memory. Most portable media players also rely on flash memory for storage and this looks to be the way forward given that the memory is not susceptible to sudden shocks and provides quicker performance. In this grouptest we put four of the latest products through our grueling test process.
