Which SSDs is the better, an External SSD or internal SSD?

[Hadramawt]

If I can attach a HD(HDD/SSD) to the USB with an enclosure or a USB wire. They perform the same function. Then, what benefit from an enclosure?
I am a little bit confused with a HD which can be inserted to an enclosure which then can be connected to a USB port , and HDs can be directly connected to a USB port.

If you not planning to move the hdd/ssd from your room/office and not worried you might spill some coffee or damage it in some way no enclosure is required.

It's to protect the HDD/SSD

Thanks a lot,
I don't think so or otherwise Whs had to not use a SSD and and a USB3 enclosure including cable. He can use SSD and USB cable only if only USB3 enclosure can protect the HDD/SSD.

For obvious reasons, the SSD works the best. Operations on the HDD will be slower. I have also tried a fast USB3 stick. But that was too slow. See performance section for details.
I found a $55 'value pack' -a SSD and a USB3 enclosure including cable. The 30GB SSD is large enough to accommodate Windows 8 or any Linux distro with room to spare.

According to the pictures you posted, there is no Express card slot. So eSata is out. And as we said, there is no real functional difference between an enclosure and a cable.

 

[AddRAM]

Just buy what you can, an external drive is used for storage, so who cares about speed. USB is fine

It`s not something you`re gonna use all the time, you hook it up, you use it, you put it away, much the same as a flash drive.

 

[Hadramawt]

According to the pictures you posted, there is no Express card slot. So eSata is out. And as we said, there is no real functional difference between an enclosure and a cable.

Then, I can only understand that 'enclosure' is used to only to protect HDD/SSD.
Can enclosure be able to convert an internal HDD/SSD which only has a eSata connector to USB connector 'port', I can use it as an external HDD/SSD with a USB port.

Secondly:

Kingston SSDs are good. In fact they were the first in the industry to produce SSDs

I was told these disadvantages of Kingston SSD.

Everyone has their favorite brand. Intel, Samsung and Crucial are generally better regarded than Sandisk and Kingston.
The Kingston SSD you mention is capable of being an external drive because it comes with a USB/SATA adapter. The purpose of the adapter is to allow you to clone your current drive to the SSD to perform an easy upgrade. This is for people with laptops that only have one drive bay. However, I would strongly recommend avoiding this particular drive because Kingston switched out for cheaper parts after the initial reviews and specifications were done. The newer shipments no longer perform as advertised, which was a very dishonest move, IMHO.




Finally: Could you please reply to my post about the shipping from the eBay.com?

Although it is out of topic, yes, that is absolutely right all over the world, except in Yemen, for clear reasons.
I heard that usually items are stolen in the Yemeni customs department, and then will not be arrived by the buyer, in particular if they are priced with more than a hundred dollars.

Even if I were stupid, I'd order/purchased items, for instance at eBay.com, How would I be able to be one hundred percent sure that items are really stolen in Yemeni customs department, and the persons in the US really sent my items to Yemen. However, once my items got arrived in Yemen, then the items got stolen in the Yemeni customs department. Also, what should I do if my items hadn't been received by me.
No thing in Yemen is going as you think.

I think you are still mixing things up. Any disk can be used as an external disk or internal disk - if the form factor fits (e.g. you cannot put a 3.5" disk into a laptop but into a desktop).

The external disk attachment can be via USB2, USB3 or eSata provided you have ports with that capability. But any modern PC has at least USB2 which is the slowest of the three. Whether you attach with an appropriate cable or an enclosure makes no difference.

This is the kind of cable you would need to attach to a USB3 port.

It's entirely up to you to decide if Kingston's move is "dishonest".

The complaint has nothing to do with the reliability of the drive or its advantage over an HDD.

It's irrelevant anyway because you've already said you have no other choice in Yemen.

You'd be foolish to buy from eBay considering the theft and customs situation you've described in Yemen.

Buy the Kingston from local suppliers or don't buy an SSD, until and unless your theft and customs improves, you move to another country, or your reliable suppliers can supply some other SSD.

 

[Hadramawt]

The 30GB SSD is large enough to accommodate Windows 8 or any Linux distro with room to spare.

No it isn't.

Thanks a lot,
Could you please not confuse me?

Not me who said that 'The 30GB SSD is large enough to accommodate Windows 8 or any Linux distro with room to spare'. However, He is Wsh in his tutorial I have posted its link in the very first post of mine.

Samsung 850 Pro EVO and Intel 730 Series are probably the best

Yes, I agree that Samsung 850 Pro EVO and Intel 730 Series are probably the best.
However, could you please let me know if the advantages of Samsung 850 Pro EVO and Intel 730 Series are very significant than the others. So, I can await a chance to get one of them instead of buying Kingston SSD.
To be honest with you, I really found that eBay.com sellers don't ship the item 'Samsung 850 Pro EVO' to Yemen, Also, even if they can ship it to Yemen, the items sent to Yemen usually got stolen in the Yemeni customs. Thus, I don't want to put my money in such a high risk.

I found the price of 'Samsung 850 Pro 512GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-7KE512BW) Hard Drive' with US$359.31. However, the shipping fee is $16.95 Economy Int'l Shipping. So, the total is about $376

I ONLY found in Yemen Kingston Digital 480GB SSDNow V300 SATA 3 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive with Adapter (SV300S3N7A/480G) by Kingston. However, its price is $350
So, the difference between the price of the Kingston, and Samsung 850 pro is about $26.
I think both Kingston, and Samsung 850 pro can be internal or external SSD. So, According to the significant advantages between Kingston, and Samsung 850 pro, which I can purchase?

Thank you so much indeed,
Great what you said, Wsh. The image in the link above was great I have never seen such a USB to eSata cable at all. However, I would like you to confirm these points
Firstly: what is mentioned in my scree shot below is correct?



If so, then I would be saying NOT disks having an eSata interface port, however, PCs. I've never ever come across a HD with An eSata interface port.
I have many external Western Digital Hard Disk Drives(Portable Hard Drive), however, they ALL have A USB 3.0 interface port. Screen shot below.

Also, they come with a USB Cable(screen shot below). However, there is not such a USB to eSata cable as what in your link above indicates by my first screen shot above.



Thirdly: My HP pavilion dv6 laptop doesn't have two HDD bays. So, if I want to replace my existing local internal Toshiba HDD with a SSD, then I will need to install the SSD in-place of the HDD. So, how can I use my local internal HDD as an external Hard disk drive. I think all internal Toshiba hard disks have only an eSata interface port, and not a USB 3.0 interface port. So, Which kind of would I need to attach to a USB3 port?

Finally:

I think you are still mixing things up. Any disk can be used as an external disk or internal disk - if the form factor fits (e.g. you cannot put a 3.5" disk into a laptop but into a desktop).

I don't know if such (External Portable) external Western Digital Hard Disk Drives(Portable Hard Drive) whose screen shot is above can be fitted into inside a laptop or not. There is no dimensions of that external Western Digital Hard Disk Drives(Portable Hard Drive)

For instance, my laptop has one 2.5 inch hard drive bay. So, I don't know if I am going to put an external Western Digital Hard Disk Drive in the internal 2.5 slot, it will be fitted or not.

The advantages of the Samsung 850 Pro Evo and the Intel 730 may be noticeable in some situations but are not "very significant", certainly not when compared to other more important factors to you in your personal situation. Intel's claim to fame is reliability, rather than speed. Samsung is among the fastest, but Samsung is NOT noted for good customer service if you ever need it.

Your biggest issue by far is the reliability of your sources and the price in Yemen. That's far more important than any decision about brand or model.

ANY SSD that is not broken is clearly superior to any HDD. The disadvantages are price and capacity.

It's certainly possible that you would be disappointed by the performance of ANY SSD, particularly considering prices available in Yemen. They are clearly faster and the speed increase is noticeable in many operations, but some people are disappointed, saying "it's not as noticeable as I had been led to believe".

I certainly wouldn't own one if I had to pay Yemen prices.

It's up to you to decide whether or not to take a chance on any particular source you find. Personally, I'd find a reliable source not subject to fraud or theft and pick from what they had to offer. If losing $350 is not a big deal to you, then take a chance on any deal you find on eBay or wherever and see what happens. No one else can help you decide on that and you are the foremost authority on your available sources.

Thanks a lot,
No worries about Kingston SSD at all, except the price. No loosing $350 at all since I'll purchase this Kingston SSD from local market (Yemen). However, the price of Kingston SSD is not reasnably priced as opposed to the price of the Samsung 850 Pro EVO , which is the first brand at eBay.com with $359, and $16 shipping fees. However, the loosing $359 might be while purchasing from eBay.com since the seller will send the 850 Pro EVO to Yemen. However, it will be stolen in Yemen customs.
I hope you understand me.

Windows 8 will fit on 30 GB. Windows alone takes maybe 20 GB.

But if you have a significant number of applications installed and keep Window updated, you will run out of space quickly.

My original installation grew to above 30 GB within a year. If you want to stay within 30 GB, you would have to be very careful about what you install.

I have used only 38 GB for Windows after 5 years on Windows 7, with about 55 applications.

eSata ports are on the PC and you connect the disk with an eSata enclosure. The cable looks like this:

Coboc Model SC-SATA3-36-ESC-BL - Newegg.com

You use bare bone disks in the enclosure because there are very few (expensive) external disks in a housing that come with an eSata connector. But you have to have an eSata port on your PC in the first place.

Thank you so much indeed, although I am still a little bit confused with the cables used to connect internal disks as external disks to a USB port of PC, and to connect external disks as internal disk to eSata port of PC. I think the faulty is not from my side. However, you only show me the images without getting a change to get one, and try it. Like telling a person how to drive a car, and he never ever sat in one. So, be a little bit patient with me.


So, could you please take some of your precious time out and go through my points below, and address these points for mine, and don't ignore them?

1- what is mentioned in my scree shot below is correct?

2- the usb3_external_sata_cable in the first image above is a different two-sided cable(two different connectors). One connector is eSata to be connected to the eSata of a PC, and the other one is USB to be connected to USB 3.0 interface port of a disk. However, the other Coboc Model SC-SATA3 below is a a same two-sided cable(two same connectors), both sides look eSata connectors.


3- there is a difference in eSata connector side in both two-sided cables. The eSata connector of usb3_external_sata_cable looks different from the eSata connector of the SC-SATA3?



4-

You use bare bone disks in the enclosure because there are very few (expensive) external disks in a housing that come with an eSata connector. But you have to have an eSata port on your PC in the first place.

You mean with 'bare bone disks' with ALL of those disks are installed internally(locally) into an eSata interface port inside a laptop? So, they don't have USB interface port, in order to let them be connected externally to a USB interface port of PC, then they needs to be inserted to a enclosure, from which we can get output of USB interface port which then can be connected to USB port of PC.

5- I really don't see any eSata port on the case of my laptop, such as USB3, USB2, and other connectors, such VGA, and HDMI, and so on.
So, I don't know if my existing internal Toshiba HDD drive is connected to an eSata interface port of my laptop or not. Yes. I was told that my HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex Entertainment Notebook PC support does NOT have eSATA/USB combination port.. Moreover, What I know is that an eSata port can be a port inside a PC, and not shown in the left/right side of the case of a PC like USB3/2. As a result, if I want to convert my existing internal Toshiba HDD drive as an external HDD to be connected to a USB 3.0/2.0 port, how could I do as long as my existing internal Toshiba HDD drive has only eSata interface port, or otherwise it cannot be installed inside my laptop via eSata port. how can I use my local internal HDD as an external Hard disk drive. I think all internal hard disks have only an eSata interface port, and not a USB 3.0 interface port. So, Which kind of cable would I need to attach my HDD to a USB3 port?

6- I have never ever saw a local(internal) HDD for a laptop, even the Internal Toshiba HDD for my laptop, I didn't see it. ALL disks I saw external Western Digital Hard Disk Drives(Portable Hard Drive), and all of them have USB Interface port.

7-

Thanks a lot,
If we come to discuss the Yemen prices, could you please take some of your precious time out to open my links below, to see the prices and the models if they are same?

Firstly: I found that $348 is the price of
Kingston Digital SV300S3N7A/480G 480GB SSDNow V300 SATA 3 2.5-in Solid State. And the shipping fee is about $45.88 Standard Int'l Shipping. So, the total price is about $393.88, which is much higher than the price of the same Kingston SSD in Yemeni merchant's store, which is with $350. This is silly, where did the Yemeni merchant purchase the Kingston SSD, so it is price is lower than eBay.com seller?

Secondly: Also, even I found no striking difference in the price of Samsung 850 Pro 512GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-7KE512BW) Hard Drive ($359) No shipping to Yemen, and the price of Kingston Digital SV300S3N7A/480G 480GB SSDNow V300 SATA 3 2.5-in Solid State($348) + shipping fee $48.

Thus, no matter what SSD brand I purchase as the price of 'Samsung SSD' is not higher than Kingston. Why do all of you claim to say that Samsung 850 Pro is much better than Kingston, however, there is no difference in the price between them even in eBay.com? Then, I can get the Kingston SSD(480GB) from Yemen merchant with $350, and don't wait to move to another country since this might be taking a long time.

Thirdly: Why are all Kingston SSDs sized with '60GB', 120GB, 240GB, 480GB, 960GB.
However, all Samsung 850 Pro SSDs sized with, 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1024GB(1TB)?


Fourthly: If you see the links the secondly above, you'll see that there is no mention of internal in all 'Kingston Digital SV300S3N7A/480G 480GB SSDNow V300 SATA 3 2.5-in Solid State'. However, there is a mention of internal in the 'Samsung 850 Pro 512GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-7KE512BW) Hard Drive'. So, can both of them be installed internally inside a laptop.???? If so, then I think no need to mention 'internal' word in the name of Samsung 850 Pro 512GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-7KE512BW) Hard Drive', and miss it out in 'Kingston Digital SV300S3N7A/480G 480GB SSDNow V300 SATA 3 2.5-in Solid State'.

Finally: I found in this link $199.99 SAMSUNG 500GB SSD (+Bonus 128GB Flash Drive) & More Weekend Deals!‏ a great deal $199.99 SAMSUNG 850 Evo 500GB SSD (+Bonus 128GB Flash Drive). I wish that I could got that deal? Do think that it is reality?

 

[Lady Fitzgerald]

For the record, there is no such thing as a Samsung Pro EVO. It's Samsung Pros and Samsung EVOs, two separate SSDs. Of the two, the Pros are better.

How could I or anyone else possibly know where a Yemeni merchant purchased a Kingston SSD? He can price it any way he wants. Maybe he has a friend in Yemeni customs who steals for him?

Secondly: Also, even I found no striking difference in the price of Samsung 850 Pro 512GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-7KE512BW) Hard Drive ($359) No shipping to Yemen, and the price of Kingston Digital SV300S3N7A/480G 480GB SSDNow V300 SATA 3 2.5-in Solid State($348) + shipping fee $48.

Thus, no matter what SSD brand I purchase as the price of 'Samsung SSD' is not higher than Kingston. Why do all of you claim to say that Samsung 850 Pro is much better than Kingston........

The Samsung is a newer generation. It would probably be faster, but you might not notice the speed difference in actual use.

Who says the Samsung 850 is "much better"? Faster in benchmarks, yes.

The speed differences between the Samsung and the Kingston are VERY small compared to the differences between any SSD and any HDD.

More reliable? Who knows?

If benchmark speed is your only criterion, you'd be a fool to buy the Kingston.

If you have other criteria (reliability, price, customer service, possibility of being stolen in customs, etc), maybe you would not be a fool to buy the Kingston.


Fourthly: If you see the links the secondly above, you'll see that there is no mention of internal in all 'Kingston Digital SV300S3N7A/480G 480GB SSDNow V300 SATA 3 2.5-in Solid State'.

Yes, it is real and from a reliable dealer. Prices for 500 GB SSDs in the USA are trending lower as usual. That is 40 cents per GB. I've seen prices below 35 cents per GB.

That is great deal which I can save about $200 in addition to get a 128GB Flash Drive for free?

Then, you also got surprised by the price.

I'm surprised by Yemeni SSD prices in general, but that's all. Given that they are high, I'm not further surprised by the prices for any particular hard drive from any specific dealer.

I don't know what you mean with 'benchmark speed'?

Google for what that means. Below are some example benchmarks of my own SSDs. The Crucial is faster, but I can't tell the difference between it and the Intel in everyday usage.



That is great deal which I can save about $200 in addition to get a 128GB Flash Drive for free?

You could if you lived in the USA. Prices are higher in Europe and much higher in Yemen.

Benchmarks in this order: Crucial MX100 128 GB SSD followed by Intel 320 series 80 GB SSD. The Intel is about 4 years old. The Crucial is new.

It is the access time that makes most of the difference between SSDs and HDDs.

 

[Hadramawt]

I'm surprised by Yemeni SSD prices in general, but that's all. Given that they are high, I'm not further surprised by the prices for any particular hard drive from any specific dealer.[/B]

Thanks a lot, ignatzatsonic, Could you please be a little bit patient with me?

Firstly: but I think eBay sellers are in the USA, I found that the
Kingston Digital SV300S3N7A/480G 480GB SSDNow V300 SATA 3 2.5-in Solid State' is priced at eBay.com with that $348. And the shipping fee is about $45.88 Standard Int'l Shipping. So, the total price is about $393.88, which is much higher than the price of the same Kingston SSD in Yemeni merchant's store, which is with $350. Thus, the Yemeni SSD prices are much lower than eBay.com according to the price of Kingston in eBay.com and in Yemen?

Secondly: Could you please confirm for me if there are a lot of different Kingston SSD models, so the Kingston SSD in the Yemeni Merchant is priced much lower than eBay.com since the Kingston in eBay.com is much better than the Kingston SSD in the Yemeni merchant?. This is only the reason which can let me be satisfied why the price of the Kingston SSD eBay.com is much higher than Yemeni merchant
I really looked for Kingston SSD in both eBay.com, and Amazon.com. I didn't find any difference at all.
I found at eBay.com that Kingston Digital SV300S3N7A/480G 480GB SSDNow V300 SATA 3 2.5-in Solid State

I found at Amazon.com that Kingston Digital 480GB SSDNow V300 SATA 3 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive with Adapter (SV300S3N7A/480G)

Also, I found Kingston SSD 480GB 480G V300 2.5" SATA 3 Solid State Drive SV300S37A/480G NEW at ebay.com with a very lower price $189, and $39.99 Standard Int'l Shipping, the total is $ 228.99. It is lower than that Kingston Digital SV300S3N7A/480G 480GB SSDNow V300 SATA 3 2.5-in Solid State with US $348.48, and $45.88 Standard Int'l Shipping, total is about $496 although they are same and in the same eBay.com




Thirdly:
As long as I need to try a SSD, and I don't find SSD brands I need, you think purchasing the Kingston SSD with the price 350 is fairly good, and I will not be regretted about it.
What let me hesitated to not go head to purchase the Kingston from Yemeni merchant is I really when look at Kingston Digital SV300S3N7A/480G 480GB SSDNow V300 SATA 3 2.5-in Solid State, I found it has a lot of accessories(adapter, enclosure, CD). Also, I don't find that it has eSata interface port.




Even the accessories(adapter, enclosure, CD) of Kingston SSD models are different from model to another model, look at his one and the other one above.





However, the Samsung 850 Pro 512GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-7KE512BW) Hard Drive, doesn't have any accessories(adapter, enclosure) , and it has eSata interface port.







Fourthly: Why are all Kingston SSDs sized with '60GB', 120GB, 240GB, 480GB, 960GB, however, all other SSDs, such as Samsung 850 Pro SSDs sized with, 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1024GB(1TB)?


Fifthly:
However, the problem is that I don't find the Samsung SSD brands in Yemen, I only found Kingston SSDs in Yemen.
Also, the ebay.com sellers only ship to Yemen the Kingston SSD, which is priced much lower in Yemeni merchant(in Yemen with $350, however, in eBay.com ($348) + shipping fee $48 = $396). So, I will get it from Yemen even if I don't like it, and avoiding putting my money in the risk of getting the same SSD available in Yemen since if the eBay sellers sent my item to Yemen, it might be stolen in Yemeni customs.

I need Samsung 850 Evo, or Pro. If I found Samsung 850 Pro 512GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-7KE512BW) Hard Drive with the price ($359) or even ($399) in Yemen, I would have purchased it directly.
Also, if I had found that ebay sellers could ship Samsung 850 evo, or pro, or even Intel to Yemen, then I could try to put my money in the risk of probability of stealing my item in the Yemeni customs since I will eventually get the SSD I like, and is not available in Yemen.

I think it is a problem to purchase an item you don't like, but what would you do if no others? Like if you want to marry a woman, and there are only one woman, then either you shouldn't marry her, or marry her.

You could if you lived in the USA. Prices are higher in Europe and much higher in Yemen.

Yes, that is absolutely right. Even if I lived in the USA, I could have purchased any brands with my money as long as I have money. However, in Yemen, I must purchase the brands available in the local market, or otherwise I will stay without any SSD or any other products I need. I have told other friends residing in the Saudi Arabia to look for those SSD I need, but most of them said that they were busy to look for such Samsung 850 Pro SSD. One friend of mine residing in the Saudi Arabia told me that brand Samsung 850 Pro SSD is not available even in the Saudi Arabia. This is strange.

Benchmarks in this order: Crucial MX100 128 GB SSD followed by Intel 320 series 80 GB SSD. The Intel is about 4 years old. The Crucial is new.

I noticed that you don't like the Kingston, and you will use Crucial MX100 128 GB SSD, and Intel 320 series 80 GB SSD.
