External SSD? How Do I Utilize It?

Solution
if the ssd's are external they will already be housed in an enclosure. just plug and play.if you need to supply an enclosure or dock they are not external drives.
if they are not in an enclosure they can be installed inside of your computer just like a regular HDD via the SATA cable and power supply.

You will insert the SSD into the hard drive dock, which will plug into one of your USB ports. The hard drive dock will have instructions for you to follow, unless he gave you one without instructions. What hard drive dock do you have? All work pretty much in the same way. I've used a lot of them.
