Hi guys! Today I'm going to share with you the difference between External SSD vs External HDD. I have an External SSD and External HDD. Let's start the comparison
1. Appearance
-The SSD is significantly smaller and thinner than the HDD, making it more compact. Additionally, it weighs about a quarter as much as the HDD, enhancing its portability.
2. Speed
The SSD boasts significantly higher speeds than the HDD according to advertised specifications. A practical test involving the transfer of the same file to both drives confirmed that the SSD performs faster, as expected.
3. Cost
Despite the advantages of SSDs, they are much more expensive than HDDs. For the price of a 1 terabyte SSD, you could purchase a 5 terabyte HDD, offering significantly more storage capacity for a lower cost.
In conclusion, if your work involves frequent file transfers and video editing, investing in an SSD is advisable despite its higher cost due to its performance benefits. However, for those needing basic storage for archiving files without concerns about speed, an external HDD is sufficient. If budget is not an issue, an external SSD is the optimal choice for both performance and storage needs.

Nice explanation. Very thorough. An external SSD would be a great compliment to one of the new M1 Macs that Apple has been bringing out -or- for for a "scratch" drive when editing video. A 3.5" external HDD is great to have if you are doing image backups of a number of computers to an external drive for storing off-site. As you said, it depends heavily on the use case which you should buy.

Very helpful. Can you point me in the right direction hardware wise to enable me to download 128gb of data (photos and videos mostly) directly off two iPhones? I haven’t been able to sync them with my iMac so I‘m hoping doing it directly from the phones to external storage will work. I’m just unsure whether I need to use USB, SSD or something else? I want something portable and had already settled on the SanDisk you show in this video if that would work. Do I just need to get a lightening adapter? Hope you can help. Thanks, Amanda.

For long lasting important files I would recommend Hard disk than SSD. Because SSDs only have NAND Gate technology that will wear off in different climates and less read and write cycles due to current flowing in chip could weaken the circuit track. In hard disk files will be saved in magnetic platter that will not lose and is easy to recover than SSD. SSD is best in performance and the other plus point of SSD is having no magnetic platter from work you can wiggle, but not best on reliability and durability.

@okamikitsunegaming Год назад

HDD is not always easy to recover at all. A little drop can ruin the hard drive forever and taking it to a recover center will cost about $1000 to get it fixed

I do a lot of video editing projects on my Lenovo Y50 gaming computer and have a Western Digital My Book 8 TB External Hard drive. With SSD drives getting cheaper, you can buy a 8 TB Samsung SSD for $650 and a 2.5 USB 3.1 external Hard drive enclosure. The speeds are very fast to access your files. I'll keep a non SSD external hard drives for backups and my main files on the external SSD.

@okamikitsunegaming Год назад

HDD isn't reliable at all. SSD you can drop it accidently and it will still work because it doesn't have moving parts. HDD you drop it and it is gone forever unless you have a lot of money to fix it.

@Milena-ix5mq 5 месяцев назад

Hdd is more durable, because of its technology. It can withstand way more overwrite/move/delete cycles, as per the SSD it has a way smaller durability life, also you're not sure how many broken sectors do you get when getting it. Hdd is prone to damage if you drop it, more than the SSD, so it breaks more easily. SSD is faster, lighter and can save you time. Serves the same purpose, for as long as it's sectors are not wearied down or damaged. Hdd is durable, cheaper and can be used for a longer period of time, if you don't hit it / drop it. Make your decision based on what fits your needs. There is not a right it wrong decision.

@runthomas Год назад

if you are taking files on and off al the time go ssd, simply because it uses less power and is quite durable if you want to backup long termish, use hdd, they are really reliable especially if used only occasionally, and also backup to the cloud.... 1 backup is not enough...and key stuff backup to high quality dvd....yes even in 2023, backup ultra important stuff to your hdd , to the cloud, and to high quality dvd....when everything else fails...i guarantee the dvd-r will be fine. but if you are using a laptop and removing stuff and putting stuff on disk all the time....dont use hdd, as it uses a lot more power and will drain battery

Rather have less read/write life span and less storage than Having fragile HDD that cannot be repaired most of the time buy user..
