Recommended Hard Drives

When you want to store and carry around lots of large files safely and quickly, an external hard drive (HDD) or SSD is the answer. You can instantly back up your most important files on your desktop, laptop or tablet. In our list of recommended hard drives you'll find the most popular HDDs and SSDs around right now.

HDD vs SSD: what's the difference?

HDD and SSD are both hard drive types and are perfect for transferring files quickly and securely. They usually have a 3.0 USB connector, but are also UBS 2.0 compatibility, so you can also use them with older computers or tablets.

While HDDs are generally considered more shock- and drop-resistant, SSDs are no less so these days. Moreover, they operate almost silently and are considerably faster. However, an HDD is a lot cheaper and often offers more storage space.
