SSDs bring several advantages over HDDs with the main benefit is the performance. The LaCie Mobile SSD delivers a performance of up to 540MB/s which is a lot more than a 2.5″ HDD can do. But that isn’t all. The SSD consumes less power which is a benefit when you connect it to a portable and battery-powered device. Last but not least, it’s also silent. With no moving parts, it’s also less prone to damage. After all, you wouldn’t want to lose your data while you’re out and about.
