We've tested dozens of external hard drives with different use cases in mind to find the best ones for your workflow. Here are our recommendations:
. If you're making nightly backups, then speed and size probably don't matter. Go for the cheapest drive you can find—up to a point. Drives don't last forever, but some definitely last longer than others. I suggest sticking with known brands that have a good reputation like Seagate, Western Digital, Toshiba, and the others featured here. This is based partly on experience and partly on the drive failure data that Backblaze has.
If speed trumps price, then you want to look at solid-state drives. SSDs don't just have a speed advantage, they also lack moving parts, which means they'll withstand the bumps and falls of life in a bag on the road better than spinning drives. The disadvantage is that they can wear out faster. Every write operation to an SSD—that is, when you save something to it—slightly degrades the individual NAND cells that make up the drive, which wears it out somewhat faster than a spinning drive.
When would you want SSD over a spinning drive? The answer is almost always—if you can afford it. But especially for any drive you're working with regularly: your main boot drive, an external drive you use to edit documents from, and even for backups if you need them to happen fast.
