Is your company looking to upgrade or expand its digital storage capacity? Connection offers a selection of hard drives and enclosures that can help with that. Our experts can connect you to the ideal technology, form factor, and price point for your storage requirements.
Selecting the right storage solution to fit your business needs can be a challenging process. Hard drives come in an array of styles with unique specifications and product features. Whether you need an internal or external hard drive, the first step is to choose between a solid-state drive (SSD) or a hard disk drive (HDD)... . Each option comes with its own set of advantages and tradeoffs, including capacity, performance, pricing, and more. HDDs tend to be less expensive and allow for greater storage capacities, while SSDs are generally more rugged, responsive, and require less energy to operate.
The key specifications of both internal and external hard drives that you’ll want to consider are:
- Form factor
- Capacity
- RPM or spindle speed
- Cache
- Interface
These specs will indicate the drive’s respective physical size, storage capability, performance, and how it connects to your computer or network. Examining your current storage solution will help to identify your potential upgrade options and select the optimal drive given any connectivity or capacity requirements. To refine your options, select a required connector, such as eSATA or USB 3.0, or a necessary form factor, such as an external desktop or portable one. Doing this will help determine the best storage solution for your business. And if you still have questions, reach out to us. One of our experts will be happy to walk you through our inventory of hard drives and enclosures and make professional recommendations based on your unique needs.
