Long before the days of flash drives and external SSDs, floppy disks were the primary way for users to store external media. Floppy disks became popular in 1971 when IBM released the IBM100.
Initially, floppy disks were quite large, with the first models having a size of 8 inches. The storage capacity was also quite abysmal by modern standards, with 80 kilobytes being the total capacity of the…
If you notice that your computer or laptop is slowing down when you are working on digital art or playing a high graphics game, you should look to upgrade the RAM of your machine to enhance the performance.
RAM is a device’s second engine. Higher the RAM, the higher its performance. This is extremely important for users who want to play games with high graphics or execute high-end tasks like…
If you’ve ever copied an ISO file to a USB drive, or you have just installed a new Windows on your PC, there is a chance that you encounter the issue of vanishing disk space. This is a common problem that can occur with your PC and your USB or other storage devices.
However, if you ever wish to recover your USB drive, the additional space may have just been unallocated.
Whenever the…
Times are changing rapidly and although it seems that external hard drives have come to the market just recently, fact is that they are already surpassed by the best external SSD drives that are pulling the shots nowadays. In other words, if you are after a drive that allows storing editable high-resolution content or high-performance external libraries for your games that will perfectly match the…
Handling your data or PC files around in the early days of computing necessitated the use of a floppy disk. These disk drives could only hold a little more than 1MB of information, which was ideal for storing worksheet or document files.
You may now quickly transport terabytes of data by using USB flash drives. These are little stick-like gadgets that plug into a PC’s USB port and enable…
SSDs and HDDs aren’t the only storage options. The type of flash storage included in low-cost laptops and tablets is known as “eMMC.” It’s slower and less costly than a standard SSD seen in higher-end systems.
SD cards and eMMC storage have a lot in common. It’s all flash memory, yet eMMC storage can’t compete with an SSD, just as an SD card can’t compete…
This post will contrast the three most common computer storage options, namely SSD, HDD, and SSHD, side by side. By the conclusion of this article, you’ll know which one best meets your needs and fits your budget. Let’s get started without further ado.
Hard Disk Drive – HDD
The HDD has been around for a long time. IBM was the first to deploy it in 1956. It features a mechanical arm…
On Windows-based systems, MBR and GPT are two prevalent partitioning methods. They are specifications for the configuration of storage devices such as hard disc drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs).
The partition style determines how Windows accesses the data on the present drive and is selected during the disk’s setup. As a result, each disc must have its own partition style. It…
During the last couple of years, storage technology has advanced dramatically, and SSD technology has been at the center of things of these developments.
The latest phones, tablets, and PCs demand higher-capacity flash storage. At the same time, data centers keep more data as more people resort to cloud backup services.
There is a lot to talk about when it comes to solid-state drives and storage…
Solid-State Drives (SSDs) are perfectly positioned to supersede conventional Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) as the primary storage device in PCs and laptops.
The rapid surge in storage space has resulted in a plethora of new terminologies like NAND vs. NVMe, V-NAND or 3D NAND that can be confusing to potential customers, leading them to settle for things they hear are excellent or that were good at one…
The growing need for data storage capacity and speed in industrial and commercial applications has resulted in an ever-increasing range of storage alternatives.
Keeping up with technological developments and deciding what works best in particular applications is a never-ending effort for engineers and OEMs. NAND vs NVMe is a topic that comes up frequently—what are these two technologies, and how…
External hard drives, and USB drives in general, are the great thing that lets you save important data, without cluttering your main drive. This allows you to have all the important data at your disposal and easy to access, while having the operating system drive dedicated primarily to work, offering the best possible productivity.
Simply, external hard drives are a nice addition to the whole set…
