Is an external hard drive as fast as an internal one
Answered By: Hugh Brooks Date: created: Feb 15 2022
tl;dr: if your external is a solid state drive – yes; between hard drives – assuming one doesn’t have a lower transfer rate than the other – should be almost identical; if your external drive has a higher transfer rate than your internal – you should be able to read from it faster – you will not be able to copy faster

How fast are external hard drives
Answered By: Eric Kelly Date: created: Dec 05 2022
Typical read and write speeds for consumer drives with a single spinning platter are in the 100MBps to 200MBps range, depending on their USB interface and whether they spin at 5,400rpm (more common) or 7,200rpm (more expensive and less common).

Should I get an external or internal hard drive
Answered By: Connor Edwards Date: created: May 07 2022
When choosing between an internal hard drive and an external hard drive, the most important question to ask yourself is: “What do I need?” If you need a portable solution for data storage, go with an external hard drive. If you need massive amounts of storage, choose the internal drive.

Can I use external hard drive instead of internal
Answered By: Kyle Howard Date: created: Oct 13 2022
You can use your external hard drive as replacement of your internal hard drive. (2.5″ is the standard physical size dimension for laptops internal hard drives.). NOTE: usually, 3.5″ external drives has a power supply (charger) that won’t turn on unless it’s plugged into the wall, while 2.5″ or smaller drives don’t.

How big of an SSD do I need for gaming
Answered By: Simon Hayes Date: created: May 28 2022
A data storage capacity of 256GB for an SSD is quite common these days. This is often sufficient for general purposes. However, the relevant needs of a gamer are different. In fact, having only 256GB for gaming can seriously hinder your experience.

How long does an SSD last
Answered By: Nathan Cooper Date: created: Aug 07 2022
In addition, the amount of data that is written on the drive per year is estimated. If an estimation is difficult, then we recommend to choose a value between 1,500 and 2,000GB. This SSD will probably last incredible 343 years.

What are the disadvantages of a hard drive
Answered By: Harold Bennett Date: created: Feb 18 2022
Disadvantages
- Far slower to access data than ROM or RAM chips.
- Hard disks can crash which stop the computer from working.
- Regular crashes can damage the surface of the disk, leading to loss of data in that sector.
- The disk is fixed inside the computer and cannot easily be transferred to another computer.

Are internal hard drives plug and play
Answered By: Alan Davis Date: created: Jul 12 2022
Plug and Play means that user dont need to do anything to make hardware work, except to plug it in. Almost every USB device is hotplug-able, but lets say CPU or PS2 Keyboard is not. So any external (USB, eSATA, FireWire) HDDs are also hotplug-able. Internal HDDs, may or may not be.

What is the difference between external and internal hard drive
Answered By: Sean Thomas Date: created: Sep 30 2022
First off, the main difference between an internal drive versus and external one is this: internal hard drives are installed within the body (laptop) or tower (desktop) of your computer, while external hard drives connect to your computer via a USB or FireWire connection.
