Createshift: College Correlation

by Mentour Bus Posted on: 3/10/2025

Build Description

My main goal with Redshift was converting the processor and graphics card to AMD and this build accomplishes that. In the previous build, I mentioned that Redshift was the only desktop computer in the household, but not anymore. As for Redshift, that computer still has the same components from the last time that I updated it and has become a computer that my sister uses often. I was given a portable 500GB HDD and I used it to store my memories from middle school. Due to the nature of it being spinning platters and its age and loose micro USB connector, it reads data slowly and I am concerned about reliability. Then, a 2.5" enclosure that was bought used a USB 3.0 micro B connector, which I found to be extremely fragile. Needing a reliable and portable way to store large amounts of files for my personal use and college classes, I chose the Inland 2.5" enclosure to use with my existing 2.5" SSD. It has a far more durable USB 3.0 mini B connector and is made out of metal instead of plastic. As for right now, I am constantly searching for more drives for my ever-growing horde of files and to put Linux on for my ITN 170 class.
