Everything you need to know about SSD, HDD, and laptop storage Laptops are amazing machines. Computers are capable of running the gamut from spreadsheets, to DJ software, and everything in between. While you’re probably familiar with the differences between a 11” screen and a 15” screen ...
A DRAM-free SSD has fast read speeds, so you may want to consider choosing a DRAM-free SSD as your boot drive. This can also be explained by the fact that the computer being booted mainly performs random reads with a small number of writes. DRAM-free SSDs do their job instantly and ...
Unlike HDDs, an SSD storage device doesn’t have moving parts andalmost instant access times. With SSD, the data is stored in microchips, making it faster. SSD is smaller in size in comparison with HDD and can even be mounted to the motherboard directly. You can say that it’s a more...
To benefit fully from an NVMe SSD, you must be able to boot the operating system from it. That requires BIOS support. Sigh. Most older mainstream BIOS’s do not support booting from NVMe and most likely, never will. There’s simply no benefit to the vendors to add it, and a very re...
One interesting thing about Apple’s SSDs used in some of its newer devices like the 12-inch Retina MacBook is that they can be made in non-traditional shapes to allow for much thinner designs. The memory used in SSDs is usually NAND-based flash memory. You know those flash drives ...
DeepSeek: everything you need to know about the AI that dethroned ChatGPT M4 Ultra: Everything we know about Apple’s mysterious Hidra chip Before the launch of NVMe drives, SSDs and hard drives used the SATA interface. However, performance limitations of that communication standard meant that...
Before we proceed further, you should know about some popular Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) configurations. In simple terms, RAID uses multiple hard drives to improve read/speed and protect data in case of drive failure. Different RAID modes offer different trade-offs, so you shoul...
