There are many expansion options available on the market today. Some of the most common ones are USB, HDMI, SATA, and Ethernet. There are many others, but these are some that I have had the most experience with. USB is used for so many purposes and has several configurations. USB provides a connection for charging mobile devices, using small flash drives, connecting controllers to gaming consoles and so much more. HDMI is the modern replacement to the component configuration that had the 3 colored cords for setting up things like DVD players. HDMI is also useful for sharing laptop screens to larger smart TVs. SATA is great for setting up extended storage hard drives. I personally like the Toshiba 4TB hard drive with the USB connection for broader connectivity options and affordability. Ethernet is great for setting up a direct line to your internet connection. It is typically faster than Wi-Fi and is better for gaming settings that require better connections.
