What is a Solid State Hard Drive?
Unlike our traditional hard drives, Solid State Drives utilize flash memory for data storage, which means they contain no moving parts (e.g. spinning disks, moving read/write heads). In standard hard drives, moving parts can make them susceptible to physical shock and jeopardize data stability. In addition, SSDs operate virtually silent, offer higher performance, and use less power than a standard hard drive.
Do I have to install any operating software?
No. Verbatim External SSDs are plug-and-play devices – simply connect the drive to the USB port on your computer and you’re ready to go.
Can I use an SSD and hard drive simultaneously?
Yes, external SSDs connect to your computer via a USB port and can function alongside your system’s hard drive.
