Answer:
The five factors to consider when trying to choose between a Solid State Drive, a Hard Disk Drive and, an External Hard Disk Drive are:
- Read/Write Speed
- Weight
- Power Consumption
- Cost
- Storage Capacity
- Solid State Drives (SSDs) are typically lighter in weight, faster and do not consume much power.
- Hard Disk Drives are relatively cheaper than SSDs. They also come with higher storage capacities but are more power-hungry and slower because they rely on mechanical/moving parts to read and write data.
- External HDDs are the cheapest of the three. They are not internal which is a major drawback given the additional weight. However, they come with gargantuan storage capacities that make you want to rethink having one. Besides, unlike SSDs, you can easily get them in computer accessories shops offline or online.
