Hard Drives For Dell Computers

I had this item for half a year and use it often. It allows me to access my old hard drives from other computers.

Very good for my application (computers and lots of Hard drives)

We installed these drives on our Dell workstation computers as replacements for the SATA drives that came with the system. The workstations now have a quick boot time & the performance in Windows 10 Pro is substantially quicker. I'd highly recommend this product for any PC user that's looking for a performance boost in the older systems.

I have used this to replace the hard drives on Mac and Dell laptops. It worked fine.

WD makes really good hard drives and this one is fantastic for easy setup for mac computers.

What can I say, if you have a hard drive, you'll need a cable. Before you order one, open up your computer and look at it carefully. If the hard drive is against the wall, you will need an angled cable to save space. A right-angle cable (most common) points down, because most hard drives are installed ABOVE the data socket. If you have a Dell (model E521) like me, the hard drive is below. You'd think you'd need a left-angle cable, but Dell drives are also stored upside down (sticker side down). Um, so two wrongs make a right (no pun intended). Also be mindful of the cable length. 18 inches was barely long enough for my tower.

Bought 2.5 SSDs to replace the hard drives in our office computers. These brackets make for an easy fit. They come with screws.

My computers are in one room and all the hard drives, servers, etc., are in another room. I wanted a high speed cable to connect a USB 3 HDD dock to an iMac. Researching, I found that an 'active' cable was key to getting a reliable high speed connection to devices more than a few meters away. I haven't tried any other brands, but this cable has worked great. Speeds from a Transcend card reader are as fast as if the reader is connected directly to the Mac. The female end is a little bulky, but it's hidden away. Cable seems well made and sturdy while still being flexible enough to route easily.

I have used Glyph hard drives for many years with my iMacs. Currently, I own about 6 of them to back up my computers and to use as external hard drives for video and file storage. I have found them to be very dependable and at a reasonable cost. I especially like the newer rubberized casings that make them rugged and solidly stackable.

I use my Delta Pro with computers and hard drives on set ( DIT work ). These systems ( especially the drives ) require flawless power to run. One error can cost me the job. With my laptop system its only pulling around 60 watts, and that will last for almost a week solid. I also have the 160 watt foldable solar panels, and I can run indefinitely with even the smallest amount of sun. At home, it backs up my refrigerator and my security system in case of outage. This is the gold standard for portable power. Can be charged and used at the same time. I also have a River Max, and between the two of them, power is always available! I love these!
