One of our BuyDirect best sellers in this category is the Maxell DVD Discs. Shop the DVD-R edition for a write-once format, which provides complete security by preventing media from being altered.

All of these models offer high-speed recording for quickly burning large amounts of data and delivering top-quality performance for years to come.

Memory Cards

Secure Digital (SD) cards are one of the most widely used memory cards that you'll find on the technological market. They are a type of removable device that stores data in everything from digital cameras to smartphones and tablets, making them a highly versatile option for all businesses.

We offer an extensive range of memory cards at BuyDirect, and the type you'll need will depend on the storage capacity of your device. Here's a breakdown of each option:

SDHC – Secure Digital High Capacity cards, such as the Verbatim Pro 600X, support the storage of data between 2 GB and 32 GB.

SDXC – Secure Digital Extended Capacity cards are typically suitable for files from 32 GB to 2 TB. We'd recommend the Verbatim Premium SDXC memory cards, which range from 64GB to 128 GB on BuyDirect.

Micro SD – These versions offer the same capacity and standard SDHC and SDXC cards, but are made for smaller slots.

CompactFlash – A small, yet fast and durable memory card designed for devices that require higher capacity flash memory. Try the Verbatim 4GB CompactFlash Class 4, which features an integrated controller for a highly optimized performance.

External Hard Drive

A top-quality external hard drive for laptop or PC offers a large and permanent capacity for holding stored data. Our bestseller is the Verbatim Store N Go Portable Hard Drive, a device that offers 1TB of storage and up to 10x faster transfer speeds.

Try the Titan XS Portable Hard Drive if you're looking for something a little more lightweight. This USB hard drive comes with a shock-resistant rubberized enclosure, which helps to prevent damage while you're on the go.

5 Main Types of Media Storage Container

With the wide variety of data storage types available, choosing which is best for your business' productivity can be an overwhelming task. Check out our speedy guide on the best long-term data storage to help your teams get the most out of their technological devices:

Hard Drives (HDDs): Traditional hard drives store large amounts of information and are therefore one of the most popular options for computer data storage. Some hard drives are built-in computer components, while others are external.

Solid-State Drives (SSDs): This is a more modern type of storage device for files and data that can often be found in computers. SSDs are faster than HDDs as they use a flash-based memory system, which helps to speed up your computer and boost its performance.

Flash Storage: An even faster type of storage that uses an electrically programable type of memory to write and store data in a flash! This typically comes in the form of a USB flash drive device like the Innovera 3.0, and you can find more than 40 unique models here at BuyDirect.

Floppy Disks: Floppy disks are a simple, money-saving way of storing data using an external compatible drive. However, they do fit an older standard limiting the amount of data that can be stored, which means that they may not be the most effective option for modern devices.

Optical Storage: This laser system is used in CDs and DVDs to encode data onto a portable device. These devices offer great simplicity and durability at a lower cost compared to many other media storage options.
