A:Answer“Solid State” in reference to an External drive.
Traditionally HDD refers to hard disc drive.
Implying that there is a disc inside.
This is true, there is a metal disc that spins within HDDs. There are magnets with a record player-style arm inside the unit that reads/writes information to the disc.
With Solid State Drives, the information is stored similarly to flash drives. There are no moving parts. The unit is in a “solid state”.
A:AnswerAny type can work for that application. SSD external drives are nice because they don't have spinning media, so no head crashes or other failures that traditional hard drives have had over the years. That being said, I've used WD Passport drives for years and been happy with them. Now that the price of SSD drives are coming down, any future external backup drives II buy will probably be SSD. SSD drives are also blazing fast compared to almost all external hard drives, especially when connected via USB 3.0 or higher.
A:AnswerYes Samsung SSD T5 will work with PS5. If you need something faster, $40 more get SAMSUNG T7 Touch Portable SSD. Twice as fast as T5. I'll be return my T5 and get T7 touch.
