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?
In: 1
External hard drives last longer and handle frequent use better. I also think most are disk drives and not flash. Which makes them vulnerable to a head crash. But I’m not up on my tech and could be wrong about it.
