What’s the difference between a flash drive and an external hard drive?

201 views

As far as I can tell, they’re both forms of data storage, but a 1TB flash drive is about $25 cheaper and like 1/10th the size of a 1TB external hard drive. Why would you opt for an external hard drive over a flash drive?

Hi 5yr old. The bigger external flash drives are made to last longer and that’s why they are bigger and more expensive. USB sticks break easier and that’s why they cost less. Don’t store photos you really want to keep forever on a usb stick
