Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -These drives are heavier, faster and boast a larger storage capacity than their portable counterparts, thus they require more power to operate. That is why non-portable external hard drives come with their own power cords that plug directly into a wall outlet. RAID drives also fall into the non-portable category.
Detailed explanation-2: -Like a USB memory drive, there are no moving parts, and the data is stored in microchips.
Detailed explanation-3: -Basically, you don’t want to move PC while it is turned on at all. Moving it could damage hard disk or optical drive, if there’s anything in it. Same goes for other movable components, but those two are most easily damaged.
