Solid State External Drives For Desktop Computers

As a computer repairman with decades of experience I only use Crucial Solid State Drives in my own computers and recommend them to all my clients. I have never had one fail though I have seen Samsung and Intel drives die.

This Sabrent converter is great in allowing use of the new Solid State drives in older desktop machines. Plug-and-play. Works great

I am a huge fan of the WD desktop and MyBook external drives.

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

If you are installing an internal Solid State Drive to your desktop computer, you'll need this SATA wire unless you are able to scavenge one off another attached device that you no longer use. It attaches to the back of the SSD (or other SATA device) and to the mother board.

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 installed the Samsung 250GB Solid State Drive in my Lenovo desk-top computer. I moved Windows and all my application software to the solid state drive and all of my personal files to the internal disc drive. The disc drive is backed by an external disc drive. The resulting system is much faster. The installation went very smooth, although I had the entire system backed up on an external disk drive incase anything went wrong.

I needed more USB plug ins for my extra external hard drives. This connects to the back of my desktop and is hidden from plain view. I like that it is powered and able to handle all those extra plugins with no problem at all.

I have several of the 2TB Barracuda 3.5 Internal Desktop Hard Drive by Seagate. I used them with as backup repositiries utilizing a NewerTech Voyager SATA drive dock. it is a Multi-Interface Dock that i can use with any size drive. Instead of having one big external backup unit, or several individual external drives - I use the voyager and back up each of the four drives in my macPro. I also use these drives internally when needed.

I have had very good luckj with Western Digital Elements Desktop External Hard Drives. I recommend them if you do not need a portable drive. This one met my expectations.
