A hardware wallet is a physical electronic device, built for the sole purpose of securing bitcoins.

The core innovation is that the hardware wallet must be connected to your computer, phone, or tablet before bitcoins may be spent.

I have a nano s but it can only store a couple of coins. Are there hardware wallets that can store more than just a couple out there that are any good ?

Hardware wallets are the most secure and portable wallets for storing the cryptocurrency and the some of the best Hardware wallets available in the markets are a Trezor wallet and ledger Nano S. Trezor is the most secured hardware wallets and it is also highly priced, but it is worth buying and I personally using it from past four months. I use Trezor only for holding the bitcoins in my wallet and for other crypto coins I use ledger Nano S. In ledger Nano S I mostly used to store Ethereum and litecoin.

Ledger Nano S is for now support 24 coins : https://www.ledgerwallet.com/cryptocurrencies

Trezor hardware wallet is support only 11 or 12 coins : https://doc.satoshilabs.com/trezor-faq/overview.html#which-coins-are-currently-supported

So for users who ask for more coins support Ledger Nano S is certainly a better choice,and also they device is cheaper than Trezor.What can be confusing when using Ledger Nano S is that you may have only few wallets installed on device at the same time,but it is very easy to add/remove wallet/app and install new one-all your data remain on device always.

You should check the Trezor wallet to see if it has more supported coins on their website. if not, then you have to go with the online services such as Coinpayments.net, MyEtherWallet.com or Coinomi wallet app for android.

I would also vouch for the Trezor wallet.

A little more pricey than some of the other options but its really awesome. User friendly as well

Trezor hardware wallet is best to secure BTC and other Alt coins. It is easy to use and carry. As per my knowledge the best way to keep our crypto currency safe and secure.

If you are looking for ETH based tokens than you can feel safe with just paper wallet printed from offline computer and printer using myetherwallet. Just make proper backup of your ETH wallet.

Many tokens and coins are not supported by hardware wallets till now, they can only store few coins like ltc, eth and bitcoin.

You can also use exodus wallet for some tokens + altcoins as hot wallet which is pretty much secure and I am also using it as my multicoin wallet.

It would mainly depend on which coins you would want to hold. Hardware wallets have specific coins that it supports. I would suggest to search for different hardware wallets and the list of coins it supports. Then, choose which wallet supports the most number of coins you are holding.

First off try to have a ledger nano that is having your watched coins. Those coins that you wanted to have should be included in your hardware wallets. Some wallets doesn't support other coins.

In OP itself he mentioned that hec is using ledger nano s wallet then again you are suggesting the same by the two people what is the use of it. Bro, please choose the Trezor hardware wallet that would be compatible for some the top crytp currencies.
All the private key issued will be safer to have the altcoins or btc.
So you can choose the myetherwallet or jaxx wallet to have coins safely like hardware wallet does.
