If yours doesn’t, you’ll need a mounting bracket like this one. Some desktop PCs have built in mounting points for 2.5″ drives. The possible exception to this are the super-small form factor PCs that can only handle a 2.5″ drive.Ģ.5″ drives are traditionally meant for laptops, but will also fit just fine in a desktop PC. The 3.5″ drives are also known as “full size” or “desktop drives.” Pretty much every desktop PC out there has room for at least one (and sometimes many) 3.5″ drives. Hard drives typically come in two sizes: 2.5″ and 3.5″. But for most people, a smaller SSD combined with a larger hard drive is a great compromise. If money is no object-or if you’re limited to a single drive connection in your laptop-you can spend quite a lot to get a multi-terabyte SSD. This makes an SSD an especially attractive upgrade if you already have a hard drive, since you can move the operating system over and “demote” the hard drive to storage duties.
If your desktop can handle more than one drive (and most of them can), you can install your operating system on the main SSD for speedy access to programs and essential files, and use a large capacity traditional drive for storing files. You can also combine the strengths of SSDs and hard drives.
