Assuming that you have A) The necessary mounting spot inside your case to hold the reader, AND B) The necessary connector on your motherboard to connect it to, AND C) You don't need to take the reader with you anywhere.. Then, internal cards are ALMOST always perform better, than anything...

B.F.T..... :D

Well, I've built 100+ rigs for clients using several of the Sammy 980's, & WD 850's & 750's...neveranottaproblemo....so I can't say that I really agree with this generalization, but I also know everyone's machines are a little different here & there, so the possibility of a variety of issues can...

That's a bit overkill for cleaning a pc, but will work nonetheless, but you have to remember the old sayings: "With great power comes great responsibility" "Absolute power corrupts absolutely" "If you have to ask for that much power, then you don't really need it"

Neva, eva, eva use your personal machine at home for work purposes......NO IF'S, ANDS, OR BUTTS.... there are sooooo many concrete reasons why that it would take me hours just to type up the list...... Look at it this way: If your company provides the hardware for you to work in the office, it...

Factory Refurbs direct from mfgr's websites (not fleabay/'Zon marketplace), are usually ok and a good way to save a few $$, provided they carry the same warranty as new units. I have done this many times over the years for all sorts of stuff & have never had any problems whatsoever with...

When each of my 8 or so 2005-era spinners (10k Raptors) have died over the years, I have been steadily replacing them with SSD's, first with SATA 2/3 units and now with M2 nvme drives.... a process which I thoroughly enjoy and look forward to each time.. Since the prices are dropping like...

Riddle me this..... When has apple ever NOT done whatever they wanted, however they wanted, at whatever pace they wanted ? some examples: moto/IBM to intel gumdrop toy iMacs into slick modern AIO semi-pro power rigs 32bit to 64bit old clunker macOS to Darwin/Next/OS X yada yada yada When...
