When buying a new computer or upgrading your current PC, you’ll notice a growing number of storage options available. And it’s not just that you can choose from different-sized hard drives, either. With solid-state drives, hard disk drives, and hybrid options on the table, it’s tough to know what to choose these days.
For years, many have wondered if there would ever be a single, universal port that would work with a variety of devices. Over the past few decades, the ways we’ve stored and transferred data has changed greatly, from floppy disks to flash drives.
The modern computer user demands power, speed, and efficiency from all of their smart devices, and living in an age where the standard is constantly being reset, the bar levels up as each year passes.
Today, the expectation for computers is no exception to this rapid progression. Fortunately, the opportunities for upgrading PCs without the need to purchase a new product has opened doors for those looking to make good with the tech they already have.
Solid-state drives (SSDs) have taken the computing world by storm since their consumer market introduction. Unlike their hard-disk drive (HDD) siblings, solid-state drives depend on non-volatile memory to store and retrieve data.
They use considerably less energy while offering high-speed functionality that far outperforms traditional HDDs. It’s these exact reasons that have PC performance enthusiasts racing to upgrade their HDDs to SSDs.
Using this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about solid-state
You’re shopping for a new laptop. Only a few minutes have passed, and you’re already overwhelmed. So many specs! There are hard drives to consider. Processors to gauge. Displays to evaluate.
In the world of audio/video ports, two connectors reign supreme: DisplayPort and HDMI. While they’re both used to connect a PC to an external monitor or device, the nitty-gritty details are what make them suitable for very different purposes.
With the introduction of the Thunderbolt port in 2011, everything changed. This jack-of-all-trades technology packed a powerful punch with high-speed connections and a level of flexibility that was unparalleled at the time. The most recent iteration, Thunderbolt 3, has expanded on the original capabilities to create the ultimate peripheral cable/port pairing.
