Hi,

I use an external USB hard drive as a way to backup my PC (in addition to the cloud backup). Currently, I have a WD My Book external drive of about 600 GB. It still works but a little slow. Plus, I would like a newer (quality wise) and larger size. I am looking at 4 TB USB 3.0 drives (on Amazon). The choices are Toshiba, Seagate, WD. All have tons of reviews.
But they all are not SSD. The only SSD I find is Samsung, twice as much in price, and half capacity (2 TB).
Do you recommend to spend more money and buy a 2 TB SSD or go for a larger conventional drive?

TIA
