Storage Drives - External

External SSDs are ideal for adding more storage capacity to desktop PCs and laptops or transferring data between systems. These external SSDs connect to systems in a variety of ways, including mutiple versions of USB and Thunderbolt, so make sure to choose one that is compatible with your system(s).

You can check the compatibility of these SSDs with your system in your component documentation or our buyers guide.
