A:Answeri do not think a SSD within a laptop will affect this external hard drive's use. This hard drive is just like a flash drive, but the size is bigger and the transfer speed is faster.
A:AnswerThis is an external hard drive. It is used in the same way as the drive on your computer. You delete a file as needed and if you want to edit a document, you retrieve the document into your editing program, as you would from your computer hard drive, and make changes and resave it. I use it for retrieving and saving from desktop to laptop, as well as a backup. I can edit on any computer at any time. I hope this helps.
