SSDs – Lightning-fast flash memory.

Solid state drives, or SSDs, are the cheetahs among large storage devices. Developers, designers and advertising agencies rely on them when working with large CAD, image or video files. Built-in SSDs are an absolute necessity if your daily workflows entail intensive data processing on computers. External SSDs, on the other hand, offer distinct benefits for creative teams looking for efficiency within a network. The higher cost of SSDs is compensated by their faster computing speeds, which is influenced by file size and the transfer rates supported by the interfaces. In the Bechtle online shop, you can choose between internal and external SSDs. Once you’ve made your choice, you can further narrow down the options using additional filters such as performance criteria and interfaces. This way you’re sure to find exactly what you need—whether that’s Samsung SSDs or those with SATA or PCI interfaces, internal or external.

Large-capacity hard drives.

Both managers and office staff generate several Gigabytes of data every day—and USB sticks simply aren’t big enough. They also want to be able to access this data easily and securely even months later. In this case, hard drives are the best choice, as they provide the best balance of price versus performance. Although storage capacity is key, additional factors must be considered as well, such as security and backup features. For instance, redundant storage through RAID systems is essential for protecting business-critical data. And if you’re often on the road with your notebook, a mobile hard drive may be useful. Our online shop has both internal and external hard drives to choose from. When selecting an internal hard drive, make sure to note whether it’s designed for desktop devices, enterprise use or notebooks.

SSDs & HDDs – Upgrading made easy.

SSDs and HDDs are a complicated topic that has to be thought about whatever your business. Your company will likely need more storage as it grows or if it expands its scope of activity. Often this can be accomplished by simply upgrading your capacity with SSDs and hard drives, saving you the time and money of replacing your entire computer fleet. We provide a broad range of accessories to help you flexibly incorporate hard drives and SSDs into your network. SSDs and hard drives also come with differing interfaces such as SATA and USB, so you also need to make sure what you are buying is 100% compatible. The right combination of storage components and accessories will put you in prime position to leverage the growing flood of data—even for big data applications.
