HDD are so cheap so they're great for backups. If you're into photography or have 'digital copies' of your movie collection, then it makes sense to go for the HDD. SSD is just a more refined piece of tech without the worry of it getting knocked around and having to deal with any noise. For your internal drive you're best off with an SSD or Nvme drive because they're so quick. Then you can always add a HDD if you need loads of space.
100% agree! HDD’s are also so much more inexpensive! In this review I paid $149 for both the SSD and the HDD and one was a 4 TB and the other was a 512 GB. That’s so much of a difference in storage space. SMH! 😜👍🏼
Something else to note about HDD is that they're magnetic so magnets can corrupt the data. If you have something like a surface pro with a magnetic clip on keyboard, you could be gradually wiping your data if you carry your HDD around in the same bag.
Do you use any physical storage devices like these? Or do you store everything in the cloud? I always have everything backed up on at least 2-3 devices "just in case"
I have a WD Passport from a way back, 1Tb or maybe even 512gb. I also have a bunch of USB memory sticks, some of which live in the back of TV's, plus a load of Micro SD memory cards in tablets/with photos on. It gets a bit tricky keeping track of all these things! I also have all my photos backed up on Onedrive. It took ages to do that initial sync up to the cloud though.
@@OndaWire I have a saying: There are two types of people that back up their stuff. Those that have lost data and those... OK there's only one type....
I agree. I have 3 SSD's and I also have this Western Digital HD in this video because it's a 4TB HD and much more cost effective. A 4TB SSD would have cost me about $700-$800 plus compared to the $149 I spent on this one. lol
@@OndaWire also depend on certain hard disk.My Samsung note 9 can read 4TB adata hard disc but must be in fat 32 format,it consume more power from hand phone.
