Unlike storage, though, which is a fairly straightforward metric, the maximum rated speed of an external hard drive is dependent on several factors.
Speed: Almost as important as storage capacity is how quickly an external drive can read and write files. That number tells me what applications this drive is good for, as well as providing a baseline value of how the cost per gigabyte of storage. Storage: Whether it’s for personal use or professional review, the first thing I always look at is the total amount of storage a particular external hard drive has. When considering which external hard drive was best for a type of application or user setup, I used specific criteria. Having spent the last ten years reviewing computers, laptops, and other consumer tech, I’ve become very familiar with external hard drives, both HDDs and SSDs.
These differences create unique advantages and disadvantages for both types of drives, making the choice about which one is right for you more difficult. Despite having the same overall objective, HDDs and SSDs handle data in different ways. Unlike the internal hard drive that sits inside your computer or laptop, external hard drives are separate devices that connect to a computer or network via a specific interface.Įxternal hard drives are typically classified as either a Hard Disk Drive (HDD) or a Solid State Drive (SSD). External hard drives are essential pieces of equipment for photographers and videographers looking to store, back up, or transfer their catalog of images.
