    HDDs are cheaper, but also larger, slower, and more easily damaged. For external drives, you'll get the fastest and more durable drive out of an SSD, like the excellent Samsung T5. The biggest external hard drives aren't always the best drives you can buy. Transfer speed is incredibly important, too.
    There are rugged hard drives, and then there's the ADATA HD710M Pro External Hard Drive. Its IP (ingress protection) rating of IP68 for dust resistance and waterproofing (in the last case, submerged up to two meters for up to one hour) matches the best rating of any hard drive or SSD we have reviewed.
    The highest-performing HDDs tend to be larger models, though that alone isn't always the determining factor. In some cases, lower-capacity drives can outperform higher-capacity drives — like the Toshiba X300 Pro 12TB and 20TB models.
    These connection types are ever in flux, but these days, most external hard drives use a flavor of USB, or in rare cases, Thunderbolt. Right now, the fastest connection type in wide use on hard drives is Thunderbolt 3, which is handy assuming you have a newer laptop or desktop with a Thunderbolt 3 port.
