When you need the best, and cost is not an issue, this is our top pick.

#2:

Western Digital Black SN850 1TB NVMe M.2 Gen 4 Solid State Drive

A close second, this also provides peak performance to any computer.

#3:

Seagate FireCuda 520 1TB NVMe M.2 Gen 4 Solid State Drive

You also can’t go wrong with this SSD, with its blazing fast speed.

Best Internal Solid State Drives for Productivity

#1:

Samsung 870 EVO 1TB SATA Solid State Drive

Outside of gaming and the needs of high performance computing, this is our top choice for general all purpose computers.

#2:

Western Digital Blue 3D NAND 1TB SATA Solid State Drive

Western Digital is a solid choice for reliability and speed, and is our second choice as the best hard drive upgrade for typical computers.

#3:

Crucial MX500 1TB SATA Solid State Drive

Our third choice is Crucial’s MX500, which also boasts fast speeds and strong reliability.

Best Budget Friendly Internal Solid State Drives

#1:

Samsung 870 EVO 500GB SATA Solid State Drive

Our top choice is the same model as our productivity pick, but sports a drive space half the size. As prices continue to decrease this is the clear leader of the pack.

If you do not need more than 500 gigabytes of storage space, this would be a solid choice for upgrading your older hard drive.

 

#2:

PNY CS900 500GB SATA Solid State Drive

Our second choice is from PNY, which is reknown for producing quality portable flash drives.

 

#3:

Crucial MX500 500GB SATA Solid State Drive

Our third choice is again the same model from our productivity picks, but offering a lower pricepoint due to its lower storage capacity.

Do the computers you sell come with a warranty?

All pre-owned computers and monitors come with a 90 Day Parts Warranty. All new computers usually come with a default 1 year warranty. We do offer extended warranty options for all computer and hardware purchases.

What is Delivery & Setup?

Setting up a new computer can sometimes be a burden. You may have to install a printer on it, connect it to your internet, install software, copy some backups, make sure all of your peripherals are installed and working, and so on. We offer a delivery and setup option for only $49 * to take that burden off of you. For this low fee, our technician will deliver the computer or purchased item to you, set it up, and then provide an hour of service to install additional hardware such as printers, keyboards/mice, speakers, etc. as well as any tutoring you would like.

* Depending on the distance of your location to ours, a small travel charge may be applied.

Does Microsoft Office come pre-installed on all of your computers?

On some occasions, new computers may come with a trial version of Microsoft Office that will need to be purchased after so many days. Pre-owned computers do not come with Microsoft Office installed, but if you are interested in purchasing, we would be happy to assist you with the installation.

Do you offer a return period on retail sales?

Yes. We offer a 30 day warranty or exchange for all retail sales purchases with the exception of software and consumables such as ink, CD’s, DVD’s and cleaning supplies.
