What’s the difference between an internal solid state drive and an external solid state drive? Internal solid state drives are inside a computer or server, while external solid state drives (SSDs) are outside of one. While that may sound like one of the worst setups and punchlines to a joke you’ve ever heard, that’s the main appreciable difference between the two. What isn’t a joke is a solid state drive’s ability to store large amounts of memory efficiently and securely.
SSDs carry many benefits over traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) that should make them a strong contender when you’re considering memory options. SSDs are quiet, small, and have blazing-fast read and write speeds,... which means that your employees will be able to quickly access large files. The speed to access documents will be appreciated by any one of your employees, but especially by those who need to deal with large quantities of video content, or those who have to operate spreadsheets which, if laid out end-to-end on paper, could reach the moon.
SDDs carry many positives—they’re durable, reliable, and faster than their HDD counterparts due to their lack of moving parts. Even more importantly, they’re energy-efficient—taking up less power than HDDs, which can be a huge boon to both eco-friendliness and battery life for laptops.
While SSDs used to be considered to have many downsides, the inexorable march of technology has helped to mitigate many of them. Low storage capacity and high prices per gig of storage have largely become a thing of the past as SSDs have pushed themselves into the forefront of memory technologies.
