They make getting them for many kinds of hardware easy by providing a single destination. Some of these sites link to drivers on other websites, while others provide them on their own servers. Either way, they are all great resources for drivers, especially if you're looking for downloads for your older hardware. Important The best way to get a driver is directly from the manufacturer, so always try that first before using a website like you see below. If those methods aren't working for you, consider using a free driver updater tool or a different driver download source. 01 of 09 DriverGuide.com What We Like Searching is easy. Huge selection of hard to find, up to date drivers. Downloading is simple. Adds hundreds of new drivers daily. What We Don't Like Free accounts have a limited number of downloads. Overwhelming push to download their driver update utility. DriverGuide.com is one of the oldest driver download websites. They advertise a catalog of over one million drivers and firmware files. Searching for and downloading drivers is very easy. The site has a huge selection of hard to find drivers (it supports over 6,000 manufacturers) and is good at keeping their driver inventory up to date. Visit DriverGuide.com 02 of 09 TechSpot: Drivers What We Like Well-organized. View recently added drivers. What We Don't Like Users could bypass site and search for the manufacturer directly. Search tool is too simple; no filtering or sorting options. TechSpot.com is a technology website offering forums and more, in addition to driver downloads. Finding the driver you need is easy, and no registration is needed. Like most driver download sites, drivers are organized by type of device. Visit TechSpot 03 of 09 DriverPack What We Like Browse by device type or brand. Double-click the downloaded file to install. What We Don't Like Downloads not directly from manufacturers. Can be slow. Some appear downloadable but then you're told to get the update utility instead. DriverPack Solution has an online catalog of free driver downloads. It's a breeze to search for drivers by name or DeviceID. You don't need a user account to get them; just find the version you need and then select the download button to save it to your computer. Most of them aren't even in an archive format, meaning you can just double-click the file once it's downloaded, and start installing it. Visit DriverPack There's also a DriverPack program you can download to update drivers, but we recommend using the website because that utility is flagged as malware by several security vendors. 04 of 09 Download.com: Device Drivers What We Like Trusted source for years.

Ad-heavy. Softpedia.com is a software download website that also provides driver downloads, exactly like Soft32.com.

Visit Softpedia.com 07 of 09 NoDevice.com What We Like Streamlined appearance. More than 100,000 drivers listed. Browse by manufacturer and device. What We Don't Like Fake download button on each download page. Downloads can be slow. NoDevice.com supports a wide variety of devices.

What We Don't Like Small driver selection Clunky navigation. Some downloads are in a RAR file. Some links are dead. Unhelpful search tool.
