    A necessary add on to new, all-in-one desktops. Without a HDD and with a relatively small on board solid state drive, thesw new desktops will run outbof memory soon. Also, many new windows computers default saving on oneDrive, which I particularly dislike. All my new PCs have a 1T to 5T external drives and are configured to save everything possible in those drives.
