In this part of our computer buying guide, we’re focusing on storage space. Modern devices have several options available to them for storage, but the amount of space will vary by the brand of the device and the types of external storage used.

If you don’t keep track of your dark data, you could be facing much larger problems than unnecessary storage costs.
