Difference Between Portable Ssd And External Hard Drive

It is a really fast external ssd, very light and portable.

I love this case for portable hard drives. I should be able to fit two SSD external drives in this case, which will make it great for travel.

The high quality Western Digital 5TB Portable External Hard Drive for less than a 100 Bucks...? Yea, that's mine...! Thanks.

Great Case Works perfect for my portable external hard drive.

I use this with my Samsung X5 External Portable SSD Drive and works extremely well and the speed is awesome.

I've been backing up my mechanical hard drive to an external one for years, so the docking station and cloning software was already in place. I decided to try an SSD and the swap couldn't have been easier. A few minutes to clone to it, then a few minutes to swap it with the old drive in the computer and I'm right back online. The speed increase was remarkable... many times faster for file and program loads, and noticeably faster even for internet activities. If you still have a mechanical hard drive, switching to an SSD is highly recommended, and Micron SSD's are definitely the best brand in my humble opinion (I'm a retired electronic engineer).

The LaCie 8TB d2 external hard drive is well-built and reliable. This is my 8th LaCie external hard drive and I've never had one fail. I feel confident backing up data on these hard drives. While these are not as fast as SSD (solid state drives), they are less likely to lose data over time (SSD's will slowly discharge over time when not used and can lose data). Fast shipping by B&H.

I use the LaCie 5TB Rugged hard drive as a backup for my faster SSD external hard drives. So far, so good. The hard drive is reliable and performs well.

This is a great way to keep using an SSD (which was an internal hard drive) as an external hard drive. The directions are much improved from the same model that I bought two months ago. It's easy to insert the SSD into the case if you keep an eye on where parts fit together..

This fits my external 2.5 USB 3.0 SSD hard drive really well and gives it good protection and has a place to store the cable. Good value for money and the usual great quality I have come to expect from items sold by B&H.
