JAKARTA – External storage is still needed for those who travel frequently. Apart from limited laptop storage capacity, it is a good idea to always have a backup of personal files. Either in the cloud like Google Photos or Apple iCloud. Also on external storage devices such as SSD or HDD.
So, here are 5 reasons why external SSDs are important for workers with high mobility:
1. Speed
External SSDs use flash memory to store data, which offers much higher data transfer speeds than external HDDs that use magnetic disks. This can save workers time when accessing their files and data.
2. Portability
External SSDs are smaller and lighter than external HDDs. This makes external SSDs easier for workers with high mobility to carry around. External SSDs are also easier to store in a bag or suitcase.
3. Durability
External SSDs have no moving parts, making them more resistant to shocks and impacts. This is important for workers who often take external SSDs on the go. External SSDs are also more resistant to dust and dirt.
4. Security
External SSDs can be protected with a password or other security software. This is important to maintain the security of workers’ data. Workers can use strong passwords to protect their external SSDs from access by unauthorized persons.
5. Availability
External SSDs are available in various sizes and capacities. Workers can choose an external SSD that suits their needs. External SSDs are available in capacities ranging from 128 GB to 2 TB or more.
Overall, an external SSD is an essential tool for mobile workers. External SSDs can help increase productivity, security, and ease of use.
