An SSD is quieter, more shock resistant and faster. Both fit in this enclosure. With an SSD you reach up to around 400 MB per second via USB 3.0 with UASP; with a traditional hard drive, transferring 1 GB usually takes 7 to 10 seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePower for every drive\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2.5 inch drives get their power directly via the USB cable, so you simply connect them. For 3.5 inch drives, which need more power, you use the included power adapter. This way the enclosure works stably with both small SSDs and large 3.5 inch hard drives up to 20 TB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorks directly with Windows 7 and higher, macOS 10.6.5 and higher, and Linux.
