External SSD VS. External HDD | Which one to BUY?

[@alphaindia9402]

Unlike others, you said it right. Buy HDD if you just want to save stuff so as to free up space from computer.

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.

[@ipuccapi]

Great explanation and very helpful. I have a Western Digital 160GB from 2008 that I am JUST now running out of space on so this is helpful with explaining the difference of SSD and HDD and which one is right for me. Thanks!

[@Maniacguy2777]

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]

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

[@Maniacguy2777]

@@okamikitsunegaming Only professionals can recover easily you need special tool for it to recover like I do here can recover ruined hdd. Only ssd you cannot recover when if is physically damaged.

you didnt touch much on durability. You see the value of the storage is to have the files secured. I have 10 external HDD's unfortunately, about half of them are unusable because of mechanical failure.. I am hoping that SDD wont have that problem so I'm considering to buy one..

[@asmitaghorai5668]

SSD always, because HDD has moving parts in it and are much more prone to damage caused by external trauma. Just handle it carefully, you're then good to go.

[@asantos8935]

Awesome video! What about durability? One of my worries is losing my files for good (again). I feel like hdd because it's a physical disc is prone to failing.

HDD vs SSD HDD pros -High Storage -Cheap HDD cons -Very expensive to repair (need to bring it to the data recovery expert) -Fragile -having a problem when you long time not using SSD pros -Fast Read/Write Speed -Compact size -Not Fragile -No problem even long time you dont used it SSD cons -Expensive -low storage -short r/w lifespan For Daily Used Buy HDD For Back-up buy SSD

[@Varun095]

Thanks man, i got to choose because of you ❤

[@AyratHungryStudent]

The other important thing is HDDs are more reliable, they have been used for decades. While SSDs are new, so it's not yet clear how long they can hold the data without issues.

[@okamikitsunegaming]

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.

[@DeeDee-fc4jl]

[@Milena-ix5mq]

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.

[@jordanking6939]

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.

My plan is to store data mostly travel pics and videos as a backup which one last longer? Like even if i open it after 5 years it should be there 😅

Also data on an HDD will last a lot longer than on an SSD, ie if you plug in your HDD and SSD in 5 years, you will most likely find the data in proper condition on an HDD but SSD no promises

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.

[@vamsikrishna1934]

External HDD is not suitable to connect with smartphone .even you connect battery drains faster .ssd is more optimised to connect to smartphones .so ssd is a better choice and prices of SSD comes down recently .

daisy chain it through a pc, plug hdd to usb on pc, then plug phone into other usb, it throttles transfer speeds, but it works, and keeps cost of device down a fair bit

[@nicojohncervano7690]

Flash memory can fail too, and it's harder to recover than a HDD which can can be easily recovered by putting the platter in another same model.

[@trocha419]

My sandisk extreme died on me after 3 writes. It’s not good for long term apparently.

[@runthomas]

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

I rather buy SSD for important files than HDD.. Since The HDD is very fragile inside once you accidentally drop it its 50/50 dead even its brand new. And HDD is very expensive to repair you need to bring it to the expert.. And if you are not using it for a long time the HDD will malfunction.. Rather have less read/write life span and less storage than Having fragile HDD that cannot be repaired most of the time buy user..

[@okamikitsunegaming]

Never go with HDD at all. You drop it then it is gone forever. I had a External HDD and accidentally drop it from mid point from my ankle and knee. Now it can't read at all and It might be damage forever. Taking it to a data recovery center cost 1k
