- gruez 5y agoDo external drives even have performance/longevity specs? The specs I see on them are pretty basic (eg. capacity, interface, operating temperature), and considering that they're marketed to consumers that's not surprising. As for actual performance/longevity, my understanding is that they're just whatever drives the manufacturer has available. For low capacities they're going to be consumer drives and for higher capacities they'll usually be NAS/datacenter drives.
