I plan to build a new gaming PC. I also use an external hard drive for data backup purposes. All of my previous desktop external hard drives have been pre-built brands such as Eagle, Western Digital, and Toshiba. I recently learned that I could put a regular internal hard drive into an external enclosure and use it as an external hard drive. I am considering going this route for my next external hard drive but I would like to ask what would be the pros and cons of going this route and whether I would be better off building my own external hard drive or sticking with a pre-built name brand external hard drive. I would also appreciate recommendations on reliable external hard drive enclosures if you say building my own external hard drive is the better option.
Thanks.
Thanks.
