Storing a regular backup of your computer on an external drive and keeping it disconnected from the computer when not backing up protects against data loss from ransomware, accidental deletion, and hardware failure. For comprehensive data protection, a three-two-one backup strategy is recommended: three copies of data, on two different storage types, with one stored offsite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-section\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between an external SSD and an external hard drive?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn external SSD uses flash memory chips with no moving parts, which gives it much faster data transfer speeds, greater shock and drop resistance, a significantly smaller and lighter form factor, and lower power consumption than a traditional external hard disk drive. External SSDs are the better choice for professionals who work with large files frequently and need fast transfer speeds, and for anyone who carries their drive regularly and needs durability. External hard disk drives typically offer more storage capacity per dollar, which makes them a good choice for bulk archiving and backup where transfer speed and portability are less important than raw capacity and cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/section\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"verbatim-2-5-mobile-hd-2tb","title":"Verbatim 2.5' Mobile HD 2TB","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: External HardDrive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnector: USB 3.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWrite Speed: 600 MB\/s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Verbatim","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53341621518643,"sku":"VERB2TB","price":175.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/7333\/6627\/files\/VERB2TB.jpg?v=1778665877"},{"product_id":"verbatim-2-5-mobile-hd-1tb","title":"Verbatim 2.5' Mobile HD 1TB","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: External HardDrive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnector: USB 3.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWrite Speed: 600 MB\/s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Verbatim","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53341621551411,"sku":"VERB1TB","price":129.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/7333\/6627\/files\/VERB1TB.jpg?v=1778665879"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.everydayhomeliving.com.au\/collections\/external-drives.oembed","provider":"Everyday Home Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
