Think about how much office technology has changed over just the last 10 years. Remember those bulky, 60-pound CRT monitors? Remember thinking a 32” screen was a TV, not a computer monitor? While you more than likely have replaced those old computer monitors, what is the status of your computer hardware?

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.
