What You Need to Know About Trezor
Trezor supports most of the popular coins including bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ether, and hundreds of others. Furthermore, it supports most of the ERC-20 tokens.

The following are key reasons why a crypto user would go for a Trezor hardware wallet:
a) Security
The main reason why crypto users opt to store their cryptos in cold wallets as opposed to hot wallets such as the Coinbase wallet is security. Trezor is the leading cold storage wallet in terms of security features. It is one of the most secure hardware wallets in the crypto space.

Ledger wallets such as Ledger Nano X, and Ledger Nanos S Plus are peer competitors to Trezor wallet in this security domain. Nonetheless, beyond the security domain, Trezor wins the prize as the best bitcoin wallet.

Trezor beats its competitor by having a Shamir Security Backup system. This system lets you generate up to 16 different recovery seed phrases and distribute each recovery phrase to a different secure location. Even if one phrase gets compromised you still have 15 more options to recover your wallet. This beats Ledger wallets hands down.
Passphrase is another great security feather that both Trezor and Ledger have. This is an additional word to the 24-word recovery seed phrase. Thus, even if your 24-word seed phrase is tampered with, the passphrase will prevent hackers from accessing your crypto assets. And since it is a single word, you can easily memorize it thus avoiding storing it in places that can be accessed and hacked. Multisignature security is another feature that both share. This allows the devices to integrate with third-party security software to provide an additional layer of security. Users will require more than one key to authorize transactions, thus, making it safer.
b) Compatibility
