Drive speed: SSDs provide dramatically faster transfer speeds (less waiting for files to copy) than mechanical drives, and we tested both sequential and random speeds. ![]() For example, we note when reviewers mention that their SSDs run hot too much heat during operation can shorten drive life or indicate that the drive is defective. Since SSD manufacturers don’t report durability ratings for external drives (only for internal models), we keep an eye on customer reviews for reliability information. But better endurance is a bonus, especially if you’re using the drive for high-intensity tasks such as 4K video editing. You’d have to write hundreds of terabytes of data to even begin to wear out most SSDs, though, and few people approach that limit. ![]()
