When SSD (solid state drives) first surfaced a few years ago, they were very expensive but provided very high data transfer speeds. So smarter people soon figured out a solution – they used both an SSD and an HDD in their computers. The SSD was used for installing operating system and other programs, so that Read More …
Solid state drives are faster, offer noiseless performance and do not consume as much power as the older hard disk drives do. This is why everyone is switching to the newer solid state drives (SSD). I myself have replaced the hard drive from my laptop with a SSD. Even though the SSD capacity is not Read More …
More and more people are buying computers that come with a solid state drive (SSD) as opposed to the hard disk drives (HDD). This is because a typical SSD does offer some advantages over any older HDD – it requires less power to perform, the data read/write speeds are far much better and more uniform, Read More …
Seems like everyone is replacing the older HDD’s with newer SSD’s whether it is matter of the bulky desktop computers or notebook computers.

We have previously covered so many different programs that can display a lot of detailed information about the hard disk drives, solid state drives or other media connected to your Windows PC. Some of these programs, for example CrystalDiskInfo show you so much technical details about the hard drives/solid state drives that perhaps you won’t Read More …
When it comes to internal storage devices for the desktop or laptop computers, there are only two popular choices – SSD (solid state drive) and HDD (hard disk drive). Some of the newer notebook computers are also coming with a fixed eMMC (embedded multi-media card) chip on the motherboard and it is used for both Read More …
When the solid state disks (SSD) first became available for the common user, they were very expensive and not many people could afford them. But now they have not only become cheaper but they are also available in much larger capacities than ever before. So now if you still keep using those slower, bulky, mechanical Read More …
Solid state disks (or SSD’s in short) are quickly become the de facto standard for the newer notebook and desktop computers owing to the various benefits that they provide – speed, stability and noiseless operation to name a few. Among many choices available in the market today, Samsung SSDs are among the ones that are Read More …
The BIOS and UEFI are both small programs stored on a chip of your computer’s motherboard that allow the data flow between the operating system (like Windows or Linux) and the other connected hardware like the disks, printers, keyboard, mouse, graphics cards, network and so on. BIOS was more popular in older computers and it Read More …
