When selecting a storage device, understanding the technical specifications is crucial to ensuring compatibility, performance, and longevity. Here’s what to consider during your purchase:
Storage Capacity

Read/Write Speeds
External SSDs offer significantly faster read and write speeds, often up to 550MB/s, allowing for quick access and transfer of large files without delays.
USB Flash Drives typically provide speeds between 20MB/s and 200MB/s, depending on the USB version (USB 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, or 3.2).
Durability & Build
External SSDs are designed to withstand drops and shocks, with many featuring water and dust resistance, making them more rugged for mobile use.
USB Flash Drives are generally more compact and less durable, but still provide reliable performance for everyday tasks.
