There are already many brands of external hard drives on the market, but LG is adding to the plethora. The electronics giant recently announced that their XD5 and XG1 external hard drives are now available in South Africa.

The director of marketing and corporate communications at LG Electronics South Africa (LGESA) said, “In today’s digital environment, PC users are downloading and sharing vast volumes of data from the web and via peer-to-peer platforms. The adoption of the USB devices to store their information on-the-go have proven to be very useful, however the storage capacity of such devices is often limited”.
