Prime Day deals keep rolling in, and with them come some of the biggest savings we've seen on external storage solutions this year!
Gaming has become something of a storage nightmare recently. Juggling which games to keep installed on your PC or console can be a headache, and upgrading your interior drives can be a daunting task to some. Thankfully, Western Digital comes through with several external storage options to mitigate that anxiety.
So what's better? SSDs or HDDS? Honestly, they both have their perks.
Hard drive disks (HDD) use several moving magnetic disks to store data. This means all of the data storage is physical which is why they also tend to be the larger option; requiring more space for more internal parts. Unfortunately, these internal parts make HDDs susceptible to internal damage, making them less drop-resistant.
Solid-state drives (SSD), on the other hand, use an integrated circuit (a microchip) to store data. This means that they read, write, and store data using electric pulses. SSDs process data much more quickly and can be constructed on a much smaller scale because they don't require any moving parts.
Overall, HDDs are an excellent option for affordability, while SSDs are the superior choice in performance. Western Digital has you covered whichever option you choose, but you better get in on these Prime Day deals soon - they won't last long.
