About the Hard Drives, SSD & Storage range

Choose between an HDD and SSD first. An HDD generally suits desktop backup, archive storage and higher capacities, while an SSD is quieter, more resistant to movement and faster for large files, editing and frequent transfers. Compare capacity in GB or TB, connection type, advertised read and write speeds, and whether the drive needs external power. USB 3.x is faster than USB 2.0, but the computer, cable and drive must support the same standard to reach its rated performance.

Check the physical format and connection before buying. A 3.5-inch SATA hard drive is intended for compatible desktop computers, NAS systems or enclosures, while portable drives are designed to connect externally. USB-C describes the connector shape, not necessarily the speed, so check the USB generation and included cable. This category is organised into Drive Enclosures and Docks, External Drives, Internal Drives and USB Flash Drives. Confirm operating-system, NAS-bay and enclosure compatibility, and remember that formatted capacity is lower than the advertised figure.

Hard Drives, SSD & Storage questions

What is the difference between an external hard drive and an external SSD?

An external hard drive stores data on spinning platters and usually offers more capacity for its size and cost. An external SSD uses flash memory, so it is generally faster, quieter and better suited to travel or frequent transfers. Both connect externally, commonly through USB.

Will a USB-C SSD work with my computer?

It can, provided your computer has a compatible USB port and the correct cable or adapter. USB-C refers to the connector shape, while USB 3.2 or USB4 refers to the connection standard. A slower host port will reduce performance, and some cables support charging only.

What does 3.5-inch SATA mean for an internal hard drive?

3.5-inch describes the drive form factor, and SATA is the data interface used by many desktop and NAS systems. Check that your computer, NAS or enclosure has a 3.5-inch bay, SATA data and power connections, and support for the drive capacity before purchase.
