Is this a good external hard drive?
Hello, is this a good external hard drive to back up my data on my computer?

Because I need at least 2 TB.
Or can anyone recommend a good one with that much storage?
This isn’t a hard drive, it’s an SSD and the way it looks like a NoName product. I wouldn’t trust him.
Brand products are significantly more expensive:

and SSDs are less recommended to create backups. For hard disks (HDD), the data is magnetically stored.
External SSDs are suitable for transporting data from A to B, which are once again present in a backup.
But with SSD hard drives, the data is much safer or not?
Because I’ve heard that if someone drops the HDD hard drive then the moving parts can break.
That’s right, if they can break records when they fall down. SSDs lose data when stored without current:

There is no 100% security.
Ah so you need SSD’s power or do you have to charge it during operation?
I’ve had Samsung ssd for 14 years. And never had any problems
But they’re quite expensive, aren’t they?
And what connections the hard drive has from you.
