SSDs will also backup your Mac quicker than mechanical drives with apps such as Carbon Copy Cloner or macOS Time Machine. This also makes them much faster as the average SSD drive can write at up to 1000MB/s which is roughly twice as fast as mechanical HDD drives that write at around 540MB/s.Įxternal SSD drives are therefore ideal for transferring and working with large files for use with video editing software, music production software and powerful graphic design software. This is because where HDD drives use spinning platters to save data, SDD drives use NAND memory chips instead.
The internal hard drives in all new Macs use SSD technology because unlike mechanical drives, SSD have no moving parts meaning they’re far faster, quieter, more efficient and durable. SSDs used to be the most expensive hard drives on the market and while they’re still more expensive than mechanical HDD external hard drives, they’re a lot cheaper than they used to be. SSDs (Solid State Drives) are the best external hard drives for Macs and so here we’ve looked at the best external SSD for Mac of 2023 including for the latest M1 and M2 Macs.
