So my PC does have a a usb c port however I've never been able to get it to work. What are some good recommendations for some external storage for gaming?

I have a 320GB Maxone drive that works pretty good

Are you looking for an SSD that’s just not an M.2 or one that’s physically on the outside of your pc

#

Cause SATA SSDs are pretty decent you just need a SATA cable to your motherboard

#

I don't have another M.2 slot on my motherboard. Now when it comes to SATA I'm not sure

#

Both the connector that the cable is plugged into and the one next to it are SATA connections

i cant get the video to work

#

actually i may not need to, it looks like the cable and tray at the start are for a SATA SSD

long warren Feb 22, 2025, 3:35 PM

#

That gray tray and the cable I’m holding

grand dragon Feb 22, 2025, 3:36 PM

#

yup thats what thats for

long warren Feb 22, 2025, 3:36 PM

#

Seriously? I always thought that was for something else

#

There’s two SATA ports just behind that as well

#

grand dragon Feb 22, 2025, 3:37 PM

#

there should be a big connector and a small connector on the cable

long warren Feb 22, 2025, 3:38 PM

#

These were kind of bunched together but there’s two linked together

grand dragon Feb 22, 2025, 3:39 PM

#

That looks right

long warren Feb 22, 2025, 3:39 PM

#

Okay send me good ones because I’m ordering on right now

#

And by that I mean SATA ssds

grand dragon Feb 22, 2025, 3:40 PM

#

This is the one I have

#

I’ve got OW, Rivals, No man’s sky’, plus some and they all run fairly well

long warren Feb 22, 2025, 3:40 PM

#

I forget we have the same case

grand dragon Feb 22, 2025, 3:41 PM

#

We do?

#

I also forgot that

#

It’ll plug in something like that

long warren Feb 22, 2025, 3:42 PM

#

Yeah I found the other smaller end piece

#

Now I’m looking because I kinda want to get it today

#

Today

grand dragon Feb 22, 2025, 3:44 PM

#

Idk what all you kept from your pc box but you’ll need at least 2 screws to help secure it to the tray, it doesn’t have to sit there but it helps keep things organized and out of the way

long warren Feb 22, 2025, 3:44 PM

#

What size screws?

#

There probably somewhere and push comes to it I can go buy those screws

grand dragon Feb 22, 2025, 3:45 PM

#

idk the exact size but they tiny, the ones i used were spare ones from the box my pc came in

#

the SSD i bought didnt come with the screws so you may want to look for that as well

long warren Feb 22, 2025, 3:47 PM

#

I found it. Typically they are m3 5mm screws

#

I can get some pretty cheap

grand dragon Feb 22, 2025, 3:48 PM

#

i was about to say yeah, i found either M3 x 4mm or M3 x 5mm

long warren Feb 22, 2025, 3:49 PM

#

Also thank you because no lie I never knew what that was for and had no idea it was for a SATA SSD

#

Truly it looked like a very old HDD slot and I remember being very confused by it when I first saw it

grand dragon Feb 22, 2025, 3:50 PM

#

i mean you could also plug an optical disk drive in there but i think youll get more use out of the SSD

#

put a blu-ray player in your pc case that doesnt have a DvD port Kappa

long warren Feb 22, 2025, 3:54 PM

#

Now comes the problem. Everywhere has the 1TB version of the one you have in stock but not the 2. Do I go for a different brand? Or just wait and have the 2 delivered

grand dragon Feb 22, 2025, 3:55 PM

#

i mean i got mine from walmart so it may not be a bad idea just to drive down there and see if they have it anyway
