Best Hard Drives For Desktop Computer

Best desktop computer I had yet

To try out many hard-drives on the ASUS VivoPC VM40B-02 Desktop Computer all with distros of Linux while keeping Win 8 untouch...

I have 12 portable hard drives. No desktop that I have owned or seen has enoughUSB inputs to handle 12 portable hard drives plus the USB ports that are required for the keyboard, mouse and printer. This hub is the solution to the problem. I really like that there is an on-off switch for each station. When I am about to boot up my desktop computer I turn off all the ports that I will not be using for the session. This prevents accidentally disconnecting a hard drive while the computer is on which can corrupt data in the drive. This hub has a power supply that is very substantial. I really don't know what its function is but I guess its necessary to have enough gain from the hard drive. The only downside of having 10 hard drives hooked up to this hub is where to find the space to store the hard drives. Also many of the hard drives I have come with a cable that is only 12 inches long and that limits where you can place the drive. I intend to purchase some that are 24 inches or more to replace those cables.

I've use WD External Hard Drive for years, so far its my go to for Desktop Hard Drives.

An amazing value and everything I expect in a desktop hard drive! All the other hard drives I own from WD (5), are still going strong too. That’s why I keep coming back.

Best computer I've owned, better graphics than my desktop PC. Runs very hot though.

Best dongle to connect your macbook pro to external hard drives.

Replaced internal 1tb 5400 rpm drives (3) in desktop computer. Immediate increase in system speed. Increased storage capacity is very welcome.

I replaced the two 2TB drives in my desktop computer with two 1TB 850 PRO drives and I can't believe the vast improvement in the performance in my PC. Boot time went from about 2 minutes to completely load Windows 7 (64 bit) and all the start-up stuff to less than 30 seconds. While these drives are not the cheapest ones out there, the specs and warranty are worth it. I would recommend this product to anyone looking to catch lightning in a bottle.

I was nagged for this review, which I feel is a despicable practice that needs to end. Making it even worse is I haven't even used the SSD or cooler yet (and, if I'm lucky, I never will). I bought this one for use as a spare SSD so I could quickly replace one of the ones I already have in use if one should ever fail. I bought the combo because it was the same price as the SSD only. However, the heatsink I'm using already is not likely to ever fail. I have five identical SSDs and one cooler already in use so I'm basing this review off of them. So far, they have been working well. I use them primarily for data storage: four in a desktop computer and one in a laptop. In both computers, one of the drives in each also serves as a boot partition. For booting and running a computer from, they run as fast, if not faster, than the Samsung 970 Pros they replace which is remarkable considering that the Sabrents are TLC and the Samsungs are MLC. Write life for TLC drives are generally around half that of equally sized MLC drives but are still high enough to make it unlikely for anyone to exhaust the write life before replacing the drives for newer technology. The heatsink appears to cool better than the one used on the motherboard of my desktop computer. It just barely clears the graphics card (your mileage may vary).
