Re: SSD external harddrives

I would be interested too. I use HDD for backup purposes ($ spent on reliability not speed) but was considering for a while some of these new SSDs to put my primary data on instead of relying on the spinning drive portion of the fusion drive in my late 2013 iMac, but judged it not worth it as

Re: SSD external harddrives

Hi Peter. I bought a Samsung SSD from Officeworks for quite a reasonable price about 6 months ago. I use it for my monthly “safe” backup. What used to take a long time with a Hard Drive (I use Superduper), now takes 7 minutes and then back in my safe. Might be worth checking Officworks website.

Re: SSD external harddrives

Thanks Pete, sorry I misread Peter’s email. They were HDDs. I may myself look at the SSD external drive, but always thought they were hugely more expensive. Always have an SDD on my Mac though. Thanks Jewels > On 7 Aug 2020, at 1:28 pm, Peter wrote: > > Hi Julie that is lucky you were

Re: SSD external harddrives

Hi Julie that is lucky you were able to transfer data before anything got lost. Peter’s original question however relates to whether external SSD drives are more reliable and it wasn’t clear from your email if your drives were HDD (mechanical spinning disc drives) or SSD (solid state drives).

Re: SSD external harddrives

Hi Peter I have just had 2 external hard drives fail me - about 2 years old. Luckily I managed to transfer the files to another external one. Both were Toshiba. Hope that helps Cheers Jewels > On 7 Aug 2020, at 11:43 am, Peter Curtis wrote: > > Hi everyone > Are the external ssd hard

Defragging large shared harddrives in OS X

Hi Wamugs I understand that OS X operating systems don't need defragging, but what about large external drives (200Gb+) that are network shared with Windows Linux and have files constantly deleted and moved around? Regards Warwick -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives
