Best Hard Drives For Desktop Computer

[12.83 lb] Best desktop computer I had yet

[1x 12-Pin] To try out many hard-drives on the ASUS VivoPC VM40B-02 Desktop Computer all with distros of Linux while keeping Win 8 untouch...

[2.7 lb] 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.

[1x HDMI 2.1] Best computer I've owned, better graphics than my desktop PC. Runs very hot though.

[2.56 lb] It does the job. My 3 portable hard drives are all connected to my computer but none of them are visible.

[350 TB] 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).

[150 TB] 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.

[ 3.5" HDD ] I have always been partial to Western Digital for my hard drives. They have proven to be very reliable. I use the my book desktop as backup for my desktop. It replaced my book desktop which is now to small, but still going strong after 5 years. The unit is reliable and easy to setup. I recommend Western digital products as being the industry standard. I have been using Western Digital since 1990.

[Yes] When adding SATA desktop hard drives it is silly that SATA cables are so hard to find. The hard drive maunfacturers should include them, or as an option, when purchasing a drive. B&H comes through adain.

I have 31 external hard drives connected to my computer through 9 of these hubs and they work fine.
