An SSD has no moving parts, is quieter and more shock resistant, and works faster. Both fit in this enclosure. Via USB 3.0 UASP, an SSD reaches up to 450 MB per second. With an HDD this is typically 100 to 180 MB per second, depending on the drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe enclosure works directly on Windows 7 and higher, macOS 10.10 and higher, Android and Linux, without extra software.
