An External SSD - The Fastest Portable Storage
The main advantage of an external SSD is undoubtedly its speed of reading and writing data. The drive technology can take full advantage of modern USB 3.2 Gen 1, USB 3.2 Gen 2 and Thunderbolt. External SSDs deliver transfer speeds in the hundreds or even thousands of megabytes per second.
The Benefits of an External SSD
How does an external SSD compare to other portable storage devices such as external hard drives or compact flash drives? Take a look at the main benefits of external SSD technology.
An SSD delivers faster data write and read speeds that are many times larger than an external HDD or a flash drive.
The difference in speed is especially noticeable when working with larger volumes of smaller files such as photos.
The absence of moving disk components ensures greater resistance to damage from shocks or impacts.
The SSD's all-electric mode also means a completely silent operation. Forget about hum or vibration.
