Best hard drives external: The Best Rugged Hard Drives and SSDs for 2023
The Best Rugged Hard Drives and SSDs for 2023
What’s the best way to be sure your external hard drive won’t suffer an early demise due to rough handling? Keep it in a climate-controlled room, wrapped in bubble wrap, resting on a feather pillow, and plugged safely into a stationary desktop PC.
Excellent! But…wait, you can’t do that? Oh, well. Looks like you’re going to need a hard drive designed to withstand the rigors of the real world.
Now, any ordinary external hard drive has some degree of toughness. But there’s everyday tough, and then there’s rugged. “Rugged” comes in many grades, though. Some rugged drives are built to withstand forces that would kill any bare-naked internal drive: strong impacts, water immersion, even fire. Drives designed for more casual abuse are often marketed as “ruggedized,” but that’s an inexact term. It’s also something of a misnomer, as the actual drive mechanism inside the tough shell is usually a normal, off-the-shelf storage component, just like you’d find in any laptop or desktop. What makes a drive rugged is the casing around it, which allows these drives to withstand shock, dousing, and the like. The level of survivability often depends on how much money you want to spend.
In general, how much torture a given drive can take varies according to the nature of its enclosure. Some will let you drive a car over them. Others might be designed to handle just a short fall off a desk, and not much more.
In this guide, we gather up the most impressive models we’ve reviewed, and then walk you through the features most commonly found in rugged drives. If you’re the type of person who’s suffered a drive failure “in the field” before—whether that’s in your office, or climbing Kilimanjaro—these devices should keep you from suffering that pain again.

Buying Guide: The Best Rugged Hard Drives and SSDs for 2023
Buying a rugged drive involves a lot of the same decision points you’d face with an ordinary external drive. Let’s break them down.
INTERFACE TYPE. The industry has settled on two main interfaces in external portable drives these days: USB 3 of various flavors (very common) and Thunderbolt (much less common).
Which one is best for your needs depends on the ports on the computer or computers you are using. Also, these interfaces, in their latest iterations, actually overlap in terms of physical connectivity. We’ll explain that in a moment.
You might be asking: Thunderbolt? Thunderbolt is no longer a specialized connector meant mainly for Mac users, though Mac usage still dominates. The latest iteration, Thunderbolt 3, makes the interface much more mainstream, and a new version, Thunderbolt 4, is emerging of late (though not yet really a factor in external drives). The version of Thunderbolt common from 2013 to a few years ago, Thunderbolt 2, offered four times the theoretical bandwidth of USB 3.0 (20Gbps for Thunderbolt, versus 5Gbps for USB 3.0). But adoption was limited, and on top of that, no single hard drive-based external drive can even begin to approach the limits of either interface. Platter-based hard drives just aren’t fast enough for it to matter much which interface you use.

If you have a older Mac with an original Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 port and want a Thunderbolt drive to use with it, go ahead and pull the trigger. A few makers of rugged drives, such as LaCie, still offer rugged drives with the legacy Thunderbolt interfaces, but know that those older interfaces are a dead end for future computers. Just make sure the drive and system use matching and compatible versions of Thunderbolt, and don’t assume it’ll be any faster than what USB 3.0 offers.
That said, both of these interfaces are evolving, which leads us to…
USB 3 AND THUNDERBOLT 3 (IT’S A TANGLE). Newer and faster versions of both USB and Thunderbolt have been rolling out in some external drives over the last couple of years. They offer twice the potential bandwidth of previous implementations. But you’ll need ports to match them on your computer, and again, the real-world speed ramifications aren’t as big a deal as they might sound.
On the USB front, the latest interface is called USB 3.2 or USB Type-C, and it first made headlines by appearing in the super-thin 2015 version of the Apple MacBook. It’s now common on new Windows PCs, and a staple in all the latest MacBook Air and Pro laptops (in the case of the Macs, paired with support for Thunderbolt 3 on the same ports). USB Type-C is a slim, oval-shaped port with a cable that you can insert in either of two directions. To complicate matters, though, “USB Type-C” technically refers to the shape of the plug, while USB 3.2 is the spec having to do with the speed over that interface. You’ll find that some ordinary “Type-A” USB ports (the rectangular USB ports we are all used to) in recent-model systems also claim support for USB 3.2. Some late-model external drives that support USB 3.2 come with two cables, one with a Type-A connector at the system end and one with a Type-C.
(Credit: Zlata Ivleva)
Beyond that, USB 3.2 (the speed specification) comes in two primary (and one rare) flavors as of this writing: “Gen 1” and “Gen 2.
” The iteration called “USB 3.2 Gen 2” has a maximum theoretical interface speed of 10Gbps. (Few single external devices can saturate that interface, even most solid-state drives.) “USB 3.2 Gen 1,” on the other hand, is identical in maximum potential speed to USB 3.0. (Confusing, we know.) We won’t complicate matters further with the much rarer, 20Gbps “USB 3.2 Gen 2×2,” which also exists but remains uncommon enough to ignore at the moment. (Only a few high-speed external SSDs use it.)
When you’re dealing with an external platter-based hard drive, it makes little difference which kind you get. To make this matter even more confusing, though, the naming convention for USB 3.2 is relatively new; it was gradually moved to USB 3.2 Gen 1 and USB 3.2 Gen 2 from various flavors of “USB 3.1,” thanks to some (in our opinion) ill-advised branding shenanigans by USB’s governing body. (See our explainer.)
Bottom line, when looking at rugged drives with a USB interface, you just need to be sure your PC or Mac has a physically compatible USB port—that is, can you simply plug it in, and does the drive say it works with PCs, Macs, or both? This physical compatibility is what matters most, as a USB device will dial down to the slower speed of the two elements in play (the host system or the drive).
Muddying matters further, though, is the most common recent version of Thunderbolt, Thunderbolt 3—specifically, in how it is implemented. Thunderbolt 3 uses the same reversible connector as USB Type-C. Also, support for USB 3.2 is baked into Thunderbolt 3. In essence, all Thunderbolt 3 ports are USB Type-C ports, though not all USB Type-C ports support Thunderbolt 3.
(Credit: Zlata Ivleva)
As a result, any new drive with a USB Type-C connector should just work, whether you plug it in to a Thunderbolt 3 port or to a “plain old” USB Type-C connector. (The possible wrinkle is plugging a Thunderbolt 3 drive into a USB Type-C port that doesn’t support Thunderbolt 3; you’ll want to check if the drive maker supports that. In our experience, sometimes it works, sometimes not.)
As mentioned earlier, with hard drives, you won’t see a huge speed benefit from USB 3.2 vs. Thunderbolt 3 vs. plain old USB 3.0. Thunderbolt 3 boasts potential bandwidth up to 40Gbps, but again, your typical external hard drive won’t push data anywhere close to that limit.
That said, some newer SSDs employing cutting-edge, hopped-up internal components are starting to make better use of USB 3.2 and Thunderbolt 3 bandwidth. Look for “USB 3.2 Gen 2” branding and peak transfer rates from 1,000MBps to 3,500MBps. These external SSDs are based on the same PCI Express/NVMe internal bits that today’s fastest internal SSDs use; older SSDs tended to top out around 550MBps because they were based on older Serial ATA technology. (For more on the nuances of this speed uptick, see our guide to the best external SSDs.)
ROTATIONAL SPEED. If you’re talking about a rugged platter hard drive, as opposed to an SSD, drive rotation speed matters—a little. It’s the rate at which the physical platters inside the drive spin, and it used to be a significant determining factor in overall performance. But these days, many models spin at a modest 5,400rpm or thereabouts, rather than the 7,200rpm that used to be more common with performance-oriented drives.
In a bigger-picture sense, SSDs (which have no moving parts) have largely made the notion of a “fast” hard drive a bit passe.
Even the slowest external SSD is faster than a 7,200rpm hard drive, often several times over, depending on what you’re transferring and measuring.
If you really need extra performance but can’t dole out the bucks for a portable SSD due to cost or capacity concerns, a few 7,200rpm external rugged hard drives are available (the G-Tech G-Drive eV ATC is one), but they are not often clearly advertised as such. In most cases, we wouldn’t make rotational speed a prime factor in a purchase.
EXTERNAL SSD VS. EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE. SSDs are not only taking over the notebook and personal computer market, but they’re also edging into external storage. It’s easy to imagine a future in which all external drives will be solid-state, because the advantages of SSDs over spinning hard drives make them perfect choices for real-world knocks. Not only do SSDs have no moving parts, making them much more durable, but they also make no noise and produce very little heat.
The only problem with SSDs? They are still expensive compared to hard drives of the same capacity.
And compared to portable hard drives, the roomiest of which today can store up to 5 terabytes (5TB) per drive mechanism, external SSDs aren’t as spacious. That’s changing, though, as we’ve seen SSDs creeping into the multi-terabyte range—albeit at a hefty price premium. Check out our explainer for more on hard drives versus SSDs.
(Credit: Zlata Ivleva)
Most portable external SSDs aren’t expressly advertised as rugged, though ADATA, LaCie, SanDisk, and a few others do offer such drives, with caps to cover their ports to protect their innards from moisture. But in a general sense, any portable SSD should hold up to drops and being jostled around in a bag better than any traditional portable hard drive. If that’s the extent of the extra protection you’re after, a portable SSD, rugged or not, is enticing, particularly if you don’t need lots of storage space.
REMOVABLE OR FIXED ENCLOSURES. A permanent shell is the most common design among rugged drives, with a sealed chassis around the drive.
Materials and design vary, but the exterior for a platter hard drive is typically a hard plastic or rubber, which allows the drive to absorb impact. These enclosures may or may not also provide seals to keep the elements—dust, dirt, and water—out of your drive. (More on that in a moment.) Rugged external SSDs will typically have a metal shell, since shock absorption is less crucial.
(Credit: Zlata Ivleva)
A few drives feature enclosures that are removable, adding another layer of protection between the drive and the casing. These are typically sealed with O-rings all the way around, allowing the drive inside extra moisture protection. In other cases, the removable element might just be a rubber or silicone wrapper around an outer metal or plastic casing.
What Exactly Makes a Drive Rugged? Quantifying Drive Protection
A key spec to seek out for rugged outdoor use is compliance with IP67 or IP68. IP stands for “International Protection” as well as “Ingress Protection,” and the IP spec describes a drive’s level of waterproofing and dust/debris resistance.
The related specs are governed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)(Opens in a new window), a nonprofit standards-creation body. We have an in-depth primer on what the various IP levels mean and how to interpret the figures; check out Waterproof? Dust-Resistant? Making Sense of Gadget Ratings, which defines how long a drive can be submerged, and more.
Quantifying the allowable vertical drop resistance is hazier. Most rugged drives, especially SSDs, can handle a fall from your desk and keep on chugging. Standard external platter-based hard drives are less resilient, especially if a drive happens to be running when it took a dive.
(Credit: PCMag)
Since your basic external hard drive has a hard-plastic shell, when an impact occurs, the chassis transfers the shock energy to the hard drive within, possibly causing the read and write heads to crash into the hard drive platters. That is, for certain, A Very Bad Thing. (Modern drives have acceleration sensors, which detect a fall and rapidly “park” the heads in a safe place before impact, but even that’s not foolproof.
) When a drive is encased in a material with more “give,” or with a soft bumper, the enclosure absorbs more of the impact. However, not all enclosures are designed for maximum shock resistance; a rugged drive might have a metal shell, to provide crush protection as well as some safety in case of a drop. As a result, you’re mostly at the mercy of the drive vendor to tell you the rated maximum drop distance for the drive.
So, Which Rugged Drive Should I Buy?
See below for our top picks in rugged drives according to usage case. If you’re looking for a more ordinary external hard drive or a portable SSD, we’ve got best picks for those, as well, at the links.

Best external hard drives of 2023
As anyone who’s experienced a hard drive failure can tell you, stuff goes wrong and computers aren’t perfect.
Which leads us to an eternal truth: Backing up your data is a must. And the best way to do so is with an external drive. Not only do they provide a tangible feel to backups, but they offer additional security and are often cheaper in the long run when compared to cloud services
When it comes to picking an external hard drive, though, there are options on top of options. Simple or stylish? Rugged or exposed? USB-A or USB-C? How much space do I need? How fast are the transfer rates?
To save you from falling down a rabbit hole, we chose seven top-of-the-line external drives to test and spent several weeks backing up data, running apps, conducting photo edits and video exports, and running read/write speed tests.
When testing was complete, two external drives made us forget the cloud was ever created:
Editor’s Note: A significant number of users (including Underscored editors) have experienced and complained recently of drive failures with the 2TB and 4TB models of the SanDisk Extreme Pro, our previous upgrade recommendation. While SanDisk/Western Digital has said it is issuing firmware updates to address the issue (and to their credit, the company was quick to replace our failed drive, though we were unable to retrieve the lost data), we’d recommend caution until the update is released, and we have temporarily removed our recommendation for the Extreme Pro.
WD My Passport SSD
Best overall external drive
Amazon
My Passport has enough space to store all your files — packing close to 100,000 photo files, or in our case, two backups of our entire library.
All that in a stylish yet rugged package.
$199.99
$69.99 (1 TB) at Amazon

Half the battle with getting in the habit of backing up your computer is plugging in the drive and actually doing the task. To that end, we think you’ll be more inclined to keep a drive with a slim build in a fun color out and accessible, rather than stuffed in a drawer and forgotten. The WD My Passport SSD is an easily portable drive and fits in front or back jeans pockets or even a shirt pocket. You can also easily tuck it into a sleeve holding your laptop.
Though a compact beauty, it still handles drops of up to 6.
5 feet, as stated by the manufacturer. In our testing, we dropped it on carpet, wood flooring, fake wood flooring, tile and concrete and noted only faint scratches on the outer shell without any damage to the actual function of the drive.
While the drive did at times peak at the manufacturer’s claimed 1050Mbps for read times and 1000Mbps for write times, speeds of 700Mbps in either direction were more typical. To put that in real terms, we were able to move a 4.5GB HD video file in about 15 seconds and a 6.5GB 4K video in about 30 seconds. Those are speeds you’d normally get on your internal drive. Backup times on Mac and PC were commendable, taking about an hour for a full backup of a 128GB drive via Time Machine. The SSD will give off some heat, and the My Passport SSD does feel noticeably warm during long backup sessions.
cnn.com/_components/paragraph/instances/ckvgzz8ok00233e6izkqo58gd@published” data-editable=”text” data-component-name=”paragraph”>On the 1TB model, we were able to fit more than 250,000 photos onto the drive, more than four times the contents of our nearly-55,000-photo library; on a 512GB model we could hold two backups of our library. A rule of thumb: You want to choose an external drive that’s at least twice the size of the laptop you want to back up. So if you have 256GB internal storage, getting a 512GB drive is ideal for higher capacities of storage, and 512GB internally means a 1TB is the best option.
Not only can you store photos, videos and music libraries on this drive, but real-time changes are pretty seamless. In our testing, we opened a photo off the My Passport SSD in Photoshop, made our edits and saved it back to the drive without issue.
Its handling of JPEGs was on par with a Mac’s performance, but RAW and larger file formats caused a bit of a slowdown.
Those files are well protected on the My Passport, as you can password-protect all your data behind 256-bit AES encryption, though that was a standard feature of all the drives we tested.
The drive features a modern port — a USB-C — for faster transfer speeds, a welcome feature, as most laptops now opt for this port. There’s also an included USB-C to USB-C cable in the box, along with a USB-C to USB-A adapter. This way, it still works with older laptops that still feature the classic USB port. The My Passport SSD is plug and play with a PC or Mac out of the box.
With a Mac, you use it with Time Machine, Apple’s built-in backup program, or opt to use it as a big drive and just drag files to it. For a PC, you can utilize the preloaded simple backup software, which makes it easy to start backing up your data.
From our testing, the My Passport SSD is the best hard drive for most people and should set you up for many years of backing up files with a fast experience, quality build and space to fit every last shred of data.
With our testing of external drives, we looked at four core categories: performance, design, ports and warranty. As you may have guessed, a lot of our testing was both quantitative and qualitative with a tremendous number of speed tests conducted.
Specifically under the performance category, we performed benchmarks with industry standards like CrystalDiskMark, Black Magic Disk Speed Test and Amorphous Disk Mark — with close attention paid to copying, writing, reading, transferring data, full backups and everyday use.
All of the drives were tested with a number of devices running macOS, Windows, iOS, iPadOS and Android to ensure far-reaching compatibility. With the design category, we looked at the overall build and protection of internal components.
Ports were quite important, as they go hand in hand with the speeds that an external drive can produce and deliver.
If a drive opted for a USB-A or USB-C port, we looked to see if an adapter was included at no cost as well. Lastly, we paid close attention to the warranties that were packaged with the drives.
Don’t get us wrong: You can get a very large amount of storage for a relatively affordable price with the standard WD My Passport. Just know that with it, you’re getting a standard hard drive inside that features both moving parts and slower speeds. In our tests, it wasn’t the fastest but did provide a viable solution for backups. It’s an option if you’re absolutely weighing the amount of storage for the least money, but we think you’re better off with the SSD variant.
This drive from SanDisk came up just short of the Extreme Pro Portable SSD, which was our top pick for creatives.
Though it offers nearly the same speeds as our top pick, it has a slightly smaller build that lacks some core design elements like the aluminum frame. If you really like the Sandisk name or the black and red color scheme, this could deserve a second look, but for everyone else you’re better off with the Portable Pro or My Passport.
The Sandisk Extreme Pro SSD can hit 2,000Mbps on read and write, faster than nearly every other drive we tested. You can render and save a 6.5GB 4K video file to the Extreme Pro SSD in about 12 seconds. The My Passport, by comparison, took closer to 35 seconds to complete this same transfer. We were also able to do a rapid export of 15 RAW images from Lightroom in about 10 seconds; My Passport accomplished this in about a minute. A USB-C 3.2 port means it is compatible with a wide range of modern laptops and mobile devices, while an IP55 rating means it has good water and dust resistance, and it’s protected from drops up to 6.
5 feet. A significant number of users have complained recently of drive failures with the 2TB and 4TB models and while SanDisk/Western Digital has said it is issuing firmware updates to address the issue, we’d recommend caution until the update is released.
If you want security you can see, Samsung’s newer T7 has a fingerprint sensor locking and unlocking the drive right on the front. It keeps the compact size (akin to a stack of credit cards) of the older T5 and wraps it in aluminum. You’re limited to just black or silver in terms of color, though. It does hit read and write speeds right around 1,000Mbps as well, which is on par with our overall pick. Ultimately, though, the T7 Touch SSD is more expensive than the My Passport SSD, and not everyone needs a fingerprint sensor on an external drive.
The ArmorATD drive from G-Technology has an ultra-rugged design with a rubber shell around an anodized aluminum build.
All of this to protect the 2.5-inch hard disk drive inside that stores your data. It’s available in 1TB, 2TB, 4TB and 5TB sizes and features a USB-C port. But speeds for transferring or accessing data are slower at under 150Mbps — much slower than SSDs. When you factor that into the equation, this just doesn’t make sense for the masses. If you don’t mind a standard drive, maybe plugged into a desktop and not on the go with you, this is an excellent solution for daily backups.
Similarly to the G-Tech ArmorATD and My Passport drive, the Seagate Basic is another simple external spinning hard drive that is super affordable. But it’s a slower transfer than SSDs, upward of a few minutes with our 4K file test on this drive, and it has just a one-year warranty.
Seagate’s SSD option features a slim design that’s in a flat rectangle build.
Interestingly enough, it has a textile design on the front that is unlike any other drive that we tested. Inside there is a fast SSD, but it’s not as fast as our top picks, with read and write speeds of around 400Mbps, and it’s generally more expensive per GB. That means data transfers and backups took about twice as long on the One Touch SSD in comparison to the My Passport SSD.
which external hard drive is better to choose| Read on Eldoblog
Computers and laptops never have enough memory! A few 4K movies can easily eat up all the free space. But somewhere you need to store backups. Yes, and there is very little space for games on consoles. In general, if 15 years ago we were saved by flash drives, and even DVDs, today we simply cannot do without external hard drives. So, it’s time to figure out how to choose them.

Criteria for choosing a good external hard drive: how to choose the perfect drive for different tasks
Top best external hard drives in 2022
Oddly enough, choosing an external hard drive is not such a tricky business.
But first you need to decide for what purposes the device is being bought. If the external drive will be used as a large flash drive – that is, it will be used to transfer large files from computer to computer – then it is worth taking a closer look at external SSDs. Such disks are characterized by the highest read and write speed, since they have no moving elements – these are large flash drives. But the choice of SSD is a separate big topic.
If the external drive will be used precisely as storage, which is also convenient to take with you, then it is worth stopping at the old proven HDD technology – these are the very “screws” and “hard drives”. Such devices record information on a 2.5-inch magnetic disk, and therefore their speed is physically limited. You should not look at the maximum values indicated by the manufacturer: these are theoretical possibilities under ideal conditions. But in fact, HDDs most often run into 120-150 megabytes per second at a spindle speed of 5400 rpm.
There are drives with a speed of 7200 rpm, but usually they use a 3.5-inch drive, and therefore they weigh decently and lose in portability – it’s better not to even think about them.
The vast majority of devices use 2.5-inch drives, and their basic characteristics are plus or minus identical. Even the range of manufacturers is minimal – today only three companies make HDDs: Seagate, Western Digital and Toshiba. Other names can be found among external hard drive manufacturers, but in fact, there will still be a drive from one of these companies inside. So what are the options to choose from?
First of all, you need to make sure that the drive supports USB version 3.0 or higher, so that the already not the highest read and write parameters are not cut off. Then you need to pay attention to the warranty – it is better if the manufacturer gives at least two years. And then you need to look exclusively at the characteristics of the case: design, impact resistance, weight.
The most stringent — Seagate Basic STJL1000400
Price: 4 299 rubles*
View product
This hard drive belongs to the Basic family.
And the name says it all: it’s really a simple, basic device. But reliable and functional – after all, we are talking about a hard drive from one of the market leaders.
The actual write speed of the hard disk is up to 130 megabytes per second and 60-90 megabytes per second on average. It heats up and makes a barely noticeable noise. One of the main features of the device is the design, which can be considered both a plus and a minus. The Seagate STJL1000400 hard drive is a simple, unremarkable gray brick made of matte plastic. It does not collect fingerprints, scratches reluctantly and does not catch the eye, and therefore it will look neat everywhere.
The device weighs an average of 390 grams by the standards of portable HDDs. The case is strong, but not shockproof – it’s better not to drop the hard drive after all. The volume of the Seagate STJL1000400 model is 1 terabyte. But there is an option for 2 terabytes – Seagate Basic STJL2000400.
Perfect in price and quality – Seagate OneTouch STKB1000400
one touch.
The price of basic devices of this line is slightly higher than that of Basic drives, but the advantages are also significant.
The average hard disk write speed is 60-90 megabytes per second, and the maximum is up to 130. Includes backup and disk maintenance software. A slight buzz during operation is almost imperceptible, but the model can heat up noticeably under prolonged load – up to about 55 degrees. But this does not affect the work in any way, and it is also impossible to get burned at such a temperature. The design is strict, but more noticeable: the body is made of brushed aluminum.
The main feature of the device is its minimal dimensions (11.4×7.8×1.17 cm) and extremely low weight, only 148 grams. This hard drive can even be thrown into a jacket pocket. The main thing is not to drop it: although the case is metal, it is not shockproof. The Seagate STKB1000400 model has 1 terabyte storage and is black in color.

Fastest – Seagate Expansion STKM1000400
Price: 3 999 rubles*
View product
The Seagate STKM1000400 model belongs to the Expansion family – these are affordable reliable devices with a strict but stylish design.
And although they are inferior to other Seagate lines in portability, they are positioned as hard drives that will always be next to your PC.
The strength of this model is its read and write speed. The maximum values reach 140 megabytes per second, and in some go even over 150. The average values fluctuate around 100-120 megabytes – this is a very good result, so the hard drive is suitable for reliable storage and launching movies directly from it in resolution up to 4K. The kit comes with software for creating backups and maintaining the disk. The buzzing during operation of the device is almost inaudible, and the temperature rarely rises above 30 degrees. And the design, despite its severity, attracts attention: the body is made of jet-black plastic with small diagonal corrugations.
Seagate STKM1000400 is a very compact and lightweight hard drive, its weight is 159 grams, in this respect it is almost as good as the model from the One Touch line. It will also fit in a pocket.:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/4LW4050413-3-5bae687d4cedfd0026b277a6.jpg)
But the model also has a minus: the case is frankly fragile and can be damaged even if you press it too hard. You need to be careful with this disk. The memory capacity of the Seagate STKM1000400 model is 1 terabyte. But there are other options:

The most compact – WD Elements SE WDBEPK0010BBK-WESN
Price: 4 299 r. This also applies to the WD Elements SE model, although it belongs to the budget line.
Read and write speed is one of the strengths of this hard drive.:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/4LW4050413-6-5ba40ae84cedfd00250fb1af-86ba4c0e59544c3787b0d4f7357d9dc4.jpg)
The maximum speed reaches 130 megabytes per second, and the average fluctuates around 100, so the drive is suitable for any task. The device works almost silently, and heats up moderately – a little more than 30 degrees, which does not affect the work in any way. And except that the design turned out to be an amateur: a strict black brick, but with glossy edges. It’s nice, but it collects prints and dust very well, and we most often grab the edges.
But best of all, the WD Elements SE is compact and lightweight. This particular model weighs only 130 grams. But, of course, you have to pay for the diminutiveness – the reliability of the case is low, it is not ready for falls. The WD Elements SE WDBEPK0010BBK-WESN model has 1 terabyte of memory.

Gold Standard — WD My Passport WDBYVG0010BBK-WESN
Price: $46.
99*
View Product
Western Digital’s My Passport portable hard drives are the gold standard among external hard drives. The models of this line have earned such popularity that if you are too lazy to choose, you just need to grab them and not worry.
The speed of the disk is not record-breaking, but decent. The maximum values are at the level of 130 megabytes per second, and the averages are 80–90. The noise is barely noticeable, and the operating temperature is around 30 degrees. Included is software for creating backups, checking the hard drive and protecting it with a password. But the main thing in the case of My Passport is design. The device is divided into two halves diagonally – one part is completely smooth, and the other is decorated with deep diagonal grooves. It looks very stylish – you want to carry such a disk with you as an accessory, which is what a popular manufacturer strives for. The
WD My Passport is tiny and very light at 120 grams which is very light (which is a good thing).
But it’s better not to even think about impact resistance: the disk will not withstand an encounter with asphalt, and hardly even with a home laminate. The WD My Passport WDBYVG0010BBK-WESN model has 1 terabyte of memory. But there are other options:

Most elegant – Toshiba Canvio Ready HDTP310EK3AA
Price: 4 499 rubles*
View item
Toshiba designers are especially good at combining conciseness and style. This plastic brick with chamfers and a one-third glossy insert is simple, but for some reason it is pleasant to look at. But there is also an expected minus: the glossy part quickly collects prints, dust and scratches.
And even if the disk is not touched at all: this is the magical property of any glossy plastic.
But this HDD is good not only for its design – its speed is also decent. On average, he gives out 80-90 megabytes per second, and at the peak it reaches 130. It does not make noise and almost does not heat up – however, like most modern HDDs. The device weighs 149 grams, so it has no problems with portability. But with the shock resistance of the disk, everything is difficult, but an anti-shock sensor is built into the case, which, in the event of a device falling, stops all operations with files and prevents their loss. Already something!
Toshiba Canvio Ready HDTP310EK3AA has 1 terabyte of memory. But there is also an option for 2 terabytes – Toshiba Canvio Ready HDTP320EK3AA.
The most secure — ADATA HD680 AHD680-1TU31-CBK
Price: 4 399 rubles*
View product
We wrote above about all models of external hard drives that it is better not to drop them.
The point is not only in fragile cases, but also in the HDD device itself. Due to moving mechanical parts, they are extremely susceptible to damage, especially during operation. In the event of a fall, “hard drives” can simply lose all the data recorded on them, so much so that you cannot restore it in the service.
But the ADATA HD680 hard drive is not afraid of falls – within reasonable limits, of course! Thanks to the shockproof plastic and silicone case, it can be safely dropped from a height of up to 1.22 meters onto any surface – it will survive the flight from the table for sure. Shock sensors that stop the device in the event of a fall are also in place. And if this is not enough for you, the device is not afraid of dust and can survive underwater at a depth of up to one meter for 30 minutes. An ideal hiking option, in every sense. And the manufacturer is confident in it, since it gives a whole three-year warranty.
But also just how the ADATA HD680 hard drive performs flawlessly, delivering an average speed of 70-90 megabytes per second, and rising to 120 at the peak.
Included is software for smart data backup and disk protection using encryption. The ADATA HD680 can warm up to 50 degrees during operation, but it does not start to hang because of this. But the noise from its massive body is barely distinguishable. The weight of the hard drive, given the degree of its security, is acceptable – 270 grams. Of the pleasant little things – a groove on the surface of the case for storing the connection cable: it will always be at hand and definitely not lost.
AHD680-1TU31-CBK has 1 terabyte of memory. But there is also an option for 2 terabytes – ADATA HD680 AHD680-2TU31-CBK.

The cause of vulnerability is often the protracted adaptation of the body to new conditions, as well as the increased likelihood of contact with the source of the causative agent of a viral infection. This source can be not only a sick person with severe clinical manifestations, but also a carrier of a viral infection, in which the disease is asymptomatic.

Las células leucémicas también viven más tiempo que las células normales, se acumulan y sobrepasan en número a las células normales en la médula ósea. Con las leucemias crónicas puede que pase mucho tiempo antes de que causen problemas, y la mayoría de las personas puede vivir por muchos años. Sin embargo, las leucemias crónicas son generalmente más difíciles de curar que las leucemias agudas.
Los linfomas también son cánceres que se originan en esas células. La diferencia principal entre las leucemias linfocíticas y los linfomas es que en la leucemia, la célula cancerosa se encuentra principalmente en la sangre y la médula ósea, mientras que el linfoma tiende a estar en los ganglios linfáticos y en otros tejidos.
Las células de la leucemia se multiplican con mayor rapidez. Los síntomas frecuentes abarcan fiebre (aunque no haya infección), dolor óseo y una inflamación del bazo.
Sin embargo, la mayoría de las personas no necesitan trasplante porque los medicamentos que atacan la enfermedad son eficaces. Analice las opciones con su oncólogo.
La quimioterapia puede tener efectos secundarios serios, dependiendo de los fármacos utilizados.

Leukemia occurs when the bone marrow produces too many tumor cells to replace healthy blood cells. Without enough healthy cells, the body cannot fight infections, and blood functions are impaired. 
Further tests will help confirm the diagnosis, determine the genetic basis of the disease and the extent to which it has spread to other parts of the body. 
When palpation of the patient’s abdominal cavity, the doctor checks whether the spleen or liver is enlarged. 
Deviation from the norm (up or down) can be a sign of a disease. 
In the case of both puncture and biopsy, a separate needle is used for each procedure. 
Complexes of proteins and antibodies stain brown or red and can be seen under a microscope. 
When these DNA fragments are attached to certain genes or regions of chromosomes on a glass slide, they become distinguishable. 
Mutations can be found for which there is a targeted treatment that specifically targets that mutation. 
Transplantation can cure CML, but it can cause serious side effects. In allogeneic transplantation, children receive hematopoietic cells (blood cell precursor cells) from a healthy donor. For transplantation, it is necessary to find a suitable donor. Before receiving donor cells, it is necessary to destroy the patient’s own blood cells in the bone marrow, for which chemotherapy and, in some cases, radiation are used. During transplantation, healthy donor cells are injected into the patient intravenously. If successful, these new donor cells will grow and replace the patient’s cells. As a result, the patient should begin to produce healthy blood cells. 
The five-year survival rate for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in children is 80–90%. 
Research is underway on whether it is possible to stop taking or change the dosage of TKIs? 
For example, the detection of genetic changes that can be targeted with targeted drugs in parallel with the use of TKIs, which is currently impossible without bone marrow transplantation. 
Therefore, careful observation of these children is another area of research. Indications for bone marrow transplantation is an area of research comparing the benefits and toxicity of a transplant against the benefits of disease control and acute and long-term complications associated with TKIs.

It’s around $300 at Lowe’s or $549 bundled with the Clean Station. The Jet 90 is similar to the Jet 75, but its charging station has room for two batteries, and you can adjust the stick’s length.
There’s one rug at my home that’s especially troublesome. When I’m cleaning it, I need to turn the Jet 75 off and on to start the rotating head again. 
I remove the canister from the Jet 75 and place it into the Clean Station’s hole, where it automatically starts sucking out the canister’s contents. Once it’s done, I close the canister’s lid and replace it into the vacuum.

Both processes require that the isopropyl alcohol be separated from water and other by-products by distillation. Isopropyl alcohol and water form an azeotrope and simple distillation gives a material which is 87.9% by weight isopropyl alcohol and 12.1% by weight water.[2] Pure (anhydrous) isopropyl alcohol is made by azeotropic distillation of the “wet” isopropyl alcohol using either diisopropyl ether or cyclohexane as azeotroping agents. 
S.P. It is used as a disinfectant and is a common solvent. 
It cleans white boards very well and other unwanted ink related marks. Isopropyl alcohol also works well at removing smudges, dirt, and fingerprints from cell phones and PDAs. It is effective at removing residual glue from sticky labels.

” The market for espresso equipment simply isn’t as widely populated or impressive as that for standard coffee makers, but while Ramage’s view is, to my mind, too unconditional, it serves as a bit of a disclaimer for the list below. The most lauded option — the one that will truly give you café-grade shots and beautifully frothed milk — is well over $5,000. There are several options in the hundreds-of-dollars price range that pretty much all the pros I talked to said make for totally solid home setups, however. And finally, there are a couple of budget picks that were less talked about but may be exactly what you’re looking for.
This, as Jerad Morisson, co-founder and co-CEO of Sightglass Coffee in San Francisco, explains, “really helps temperature and pressure stabilization so that the machine is dependably at optimal brewing and steaming settings.” If it doesn’t, however, you have to make your coffee and your milk one after the other. The second component to consider is whether or not it comes with a grinder. Some machines have that mechanism built-in, while for others, you’ll need to buy one separately.
$ means it costs less than $350, $$ means between $350 and $850, $$$ between $850 and $2000, and $$$$ above $2000.
But it ended up so popular that they decided to release it to the consumer market.” Mody and McCarthy even go so far as to specifically say they prefer the Rancilio Silvia over Breville, the only other company that came up as making good at-home espresso makers at middle-of-the-road price points (much more on Breville below).
After a few days, I was able to consistently produce a smooth latte.

” As with the Rancilio Silvia, there aren’t any bells and whistles here. You’ll have to grind your beans separately, as well as brew your shot and froth your milk one after another. But if that doesn’t bother you, you’ll likely be very happy with this dependable, affordable model.
” The Picopresso works with manual hand pressure, meaning one essential part of the espresso-making process is generated via the person brewing, instead of the machine. According to the company, you just have to dial in the correct grind size and tamping (something you have to do with electric models anyway) and then perfect your pulling technique — a skill that seems well worth the learning curve for an espresso maker that costs not much more than $100 and makes a stellar shot. This model is marketed as a portable espresso maker that’s good for travel, but there’s no reason it can’t be employed at home. Its super-compact size may even be essential for people with small kitchens.

It’s a classic Italian model, though there are many out there to choose from. No matter the brand, moka pots take super-finely ground beans, just like espresso machines, and generate a liquid prime to be mixed with milk. Marco Suarez, one of the owners of Methodical Coffee in Greenville, South Carolina, endorses them too, saying, “I think they’re really cool. They had a moment in America a while back and then so many other gadgets came on the scene. But I feel like they’re about to have another moment.” (For the record, he’s not the only expert I talked to who anticipated this trend.) “I don’t know if they can do the exact concentration of a machine,” he says, “but they get pretty close if you’re just trying to replicate a good cappuccino or latte at home.” And one final endorsement: Isabella Rossellini makes two espressos a day with her Bialetti, an item she says she can’t live without.

” It doesn’t quite have the same creaminess as true espresso, she admits, “but I still think it’s a win for the price point and convenience.”
He also points out that all the removable parts are dishwasher safe, so it’s easy to keep clean.
If you make your coffee first, you have to wait for it to heat up before you steam your milk.” This machine goes up several inches in size from the other models, so you’ll want to make sure you have the space for it.
Wong also says he wouldn’t worry too much about getting a separate grinder: “If you’re a regular consumer, it’s really useful and convenient.”
It’s also, we know, over the top in price, at several thousand dollars more than the top-of-the-line Breville. In other words, it’s not so much for the casual (or even semi-casual) espresso drinkers among us. But it would have been a glaring omission in the world of espresso to leave it off this list. Not only is it “aesthetically beautiful,” as Wong says, it’s also quite customizable; you can choose the color of the feet, the style of the knobs, and more. “There is no other machine that is as durable and that can consistently make perfect coffee shot after shot,” says Morrison.

Making a barista-worthy espresso is challenging. Doing it without electricity or a giant machine is even more daunting. 
It does pack down to a roughly laptop-size case that’s about 2 inches thick, but it’s heavy. It looks great on a kitchen counter between trips, though. What you lose in portability is more than made up for in the quality of the espresso. 
The Classic is $165 at Amazon. The Signature Pro goes for $325 and is a step up in build quality.
For a small apartment with limited kitchen counter space, or for those RV trips you’ve been plotting, it’s perfect.
I’ve tried popular espresso blends like Lavazza, Medaglia D’Oro, and Café Bustelo. Medaglia D’Oro has a smoother flavor than the others, but it’s still more bitter than freshly roasted and ground whole beans.
2, 3, 2004), the coffee maker was originally the most spectacular item, the center of the composition on the morning table. A narrow high case of pretentious forms, with a stylish handle, a short spout like a jug … Today it is a completely different, technically advanced and fully automated device, but no less beautiful and elegant. It saves our nerves, because it is impossible to miss the moment when the coffee reaches its condition. And, of course, it saves time, because there is no need to wash the stove if the aromatic drink “runs away”. 
To make the drink thicker and more aromatic, you need to put an additional spoonful of ground coffee in the filter. 
In it, hot water repeatedly rose through a tube inserted into the handle, sprayed over ground coffee, passed through it and turned into a drink. Soon another French inventor, Nicolas Felix Durand, improved the Gandé coffee maker in such a way that boiling water began to rise along the central tube, and then repeatedly sprayed over the coffee powder. 
Other entrepreneurs followed suit. By the beginning of the 1920s, tower-like, decorated with ornamental coffee makers from Pavoni and Victoria Ardina became a characteristic feature of Italian cafes. They contributed to the spread of the culture of espresso coffee consumption in Europe and America. 
Its main components and principle of operation (treatment of ground coffee with steam under pressure) are used in modern pump coffee makers (see diagrams on page 132). 
Water at 95°C drop by drop flows into the filter and, having seeped through the ground coffee, absorbing its taste and aroma, pours in a thin stream directly into the coffee pot. 
This is coffee with frothed milk. According to legend, cappuccino was invented by the Capuchin monks. They noticed that sometimes when milk is poured into coffee, a thick, tasty foam is formed. In order to have more foam, the milk began to be beaten with a mechanical beater. In modern coffee makers, thick milk foam is obtained by directing a jet of hot steam into a cup of cold milk using a special nozzle in the form of a tube-nozzle. The tip of the nozzle is immersed in milk no deeper than one centimeter from the surface. Air foam is added to cups of coffee, laying out a beautiful pea. Top it with ground cinnamon, nutmeg or grated chocolate. 
Then the piston is gently lowered down, and the coffee is filtered (coffee grounds remain at the bottom). Its taste resembles the taste of Turkish coffee or coffee made in a drip coffee maker. 
Both the nylon and gold filters are dishwasher safe. 
The only work (apart from washing the cups and the filter, of course) that is required of you is programming various parameters: from the degree of grinding of coffee beans and water temperature to the size of the portions poured into the cup. Automation will monitor, and the indicators will signal whether the required number of grains has been filled up and whether water has been filled in, tell you whether it is time to remove the coffee grounds or turn on the descaling program. 
True, you don’t have to count cups – indicators will warn you in time about the moment of the onset of prevention. 
The steam-water mixture formed in the tank is sent to the dispenser (2), passes through the ground coffee, and the finished drink enters the coffee pot (1). The tray under the coffee pot may have a built-in heating element that keeps the coffee hot longer. When preparing cappuccino, a nozzle (7) is used for foaming milk, steam to which is supplied through a tube (6) when the tap (5) is opened. Excessive pressure is also released through this valve after the end of the operation of the device. The disadvantage of this type of coffee maker is the long coffee preparation time. This is due to the need to heat and boil the entire volume of water in the tank. The resulting pressure, as a rule, does not exceed 3 bar. This scheme is used in compact coffee makers with a small capacity tank. 
The steam-water mixture is sent to the dispenser with ground coffee (6). To make cappuccino, there is a nozzle (4) with a tap (3), which receives steam from the top of the boiler. The pressure pump allows you to get a higher level of pressure (from 9up to 19 bar, depending on the power of the pump) without the need to boil the entire volume of water poured into the tank of the coffee maker. 
Use the nozzle (7) to make cappuccino. With the tap (6) open, steam enters into it from the outlet channel of the thermoblock, foaming milk. The water in such a coffee maker heats up very quickly, which reduces the time for preparing coffee. 
The steam-water mixture seeps through the ground grains, and the drink enters the coffee pot. At the same time, a switch is activated (bottom right), which interrupts the electrical circuit (an example of full early automation). However, the device still had to be turned on manually. The red light on the switch is on while the coffee maker is on. Similar machines were produced earlier, but they were not electric, but with an alcohol burner.
