Hello, everybody. I’ve been looking for a new storage solution. I know, that HDDs are reliable and SSDs are for fast access, but I’ve been an HDD user ever since. I have an SSD, but I only have the OS on it. Likewise, I want to do some basic File operations, as writing documents or copy files. It would also be great if I could use it as a Backup kind of sorts device. It would be great if I could move my data from my old WD-Elements external HDD, quickly, to an intern HDD without any fuss. I just need a Storage medium that’s cheap and good. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks in advance!

    I use HDDs for long term and larger storage… my home partition, working partitions and the OS itself are on distinct SSDs.

    It would be great if I could move my data from my old WD-Elements external HDD, quickly, to an intern HDD without any fuss.

    Take the casing off and remove the hard drive, install it in your computer. Done.

      Do google the model number to ensure the drive in question is actually shuckable, not all are
