I. What is a mobile hard disk? What are the common types of mobile hard drives?

Mobile hard disk mainly refers to a small and portable hard disk storage connected by USB or IEEE1394 interface (also known as FireWire interface), which can transmit data with the system at a higher speed. Mobile hard drives usually have the characteristics of large capacity, good compatibility, plug and play, fast speed, small size, safety and reliability.
Common mobile hard drives can be divided into two types: SSD and HDD. SSD (full name Solid State Drive) is a hard disk mainly made of NAND electronic flash memory. The brands with higher cost performance are roughly Samsung, Western Digital and Seagate. As for HDD (full name mechanical hard disk), the advantage of mechanical hard disk is that it is cheap, but the disadvantage is that the transmission rate is slow, and the noise of hard disk rotation will be heard when the surrounding environment is quiet. Compared with HDD, SSD has faster read and write speed, stronger durability and storage security. So SSD has become the mainstream choice for mobile storage devices.
After a brief understanding of the definition and common types of mobile hard disks, let’s learn how to quickly back up mobile hard disk data. Here I recommend a data backup and restoration tool with various functions——Renee Becca . This software not only has a variety of data backup functions, but also can set an automatic backup plan, which can automatically back up the mobile hard disk on a regular basis, which is very convenient.
