best external drive for windows server 2016 essentials using usb 2.0

Question

Windows Server 2016 Essentials 2016 on a Dell T130 PowerEdge

Answer 1

Hi MalcomMurphyIII-1703，

Thanks for your post. Since the external drives are all USB 2.0, there won't be much difference in speed. However, some may provide additional features like protection from water/dust/drops or hardware-based encryption. You can also contact Dell to see if the server has any requirements for the external drives.

Best Regards,

Ian Xue
