A:Answer Generally speaking, a backup drive does not exploit the speed of an SSD drive. Most hard drives of similar capacity are less expensive and are very suitable for backup purposes.
You can better exploit the potential of your SSD by using it as your main drive in your computer. The process of doing this is not hard, but involves several important steps so you do not loose the data on the existing drive or render installing your operating system and application software without having to buy the licenses again.
For example, Windows 10 requires a product code as well as their productivity software. You need to have these keys before doing such a transition.
