Enhance Your PC Speed with SSD
Do you have a computer that has been optimized to a maximum level with a multicore processor and a huge ram plus a top level graphics card which has a big on board memory? After having so many stunning features installed still do you have a feeling that the pc is running slow? Are you absolutely clueless what could be the reason? The answer lies with the hard drive.
The processor speeds have leaped high whether it is an INTEL or an AMD but not our hard rive speeds. The hard drive speeds have increased by 1.3% in the last decade whereas the processor speeds have skyrocketed by almost 200times (according to a research done by Intel Corp).
So what do we do? The answer is solid state devices. It’s been quite a while we have been using solid state drives. They first came into light with the advent of the USB drives commonly known as flash drives or pen drives or thumb drives. Solid state drives are data storage devices that use solid state memory to save data. You can talk to a tech support service provider to assist you in this regard.
SSD were initially launched in the form of usb drives but soon was taken over by the HDD sector too. Of course, these SSD hard drives are costlier than the normal mechanical ones. Still, it is worth a buy especially in places where very important data is kept and any error could result into huge hazards. One can even use these to keep the Operating System and use the main HDD as the secondary drive to keep other data. One can even store all their photos and videos and music files in these SSDs so that the performance of the pc gets much faster.
It has been tested and proved that with an SSD containing music or video files or photos or even an Operating system computers boots much faster. Even photo editing applications which usually takes a longer time to load, (these softwares have a lot of file to load) starts faster compared to a normal HDD.
Do these SSDs need maintenance? Yes, but unlike normal HDDs there is no defragmentation or disk clean up separately. In case of SSDs there is something called TRIM. Before buying a SSD one need to make sure that the SSD, controllers and your OS supports TRIM. Unlike normal HDDs SSDs can’t just overwrite deleted data. TRIM clears unwanted files during system idle time.
How do we find how big a SSD you need? – check the size of the windows and programs folder in your pc. Add the size of these 2 folders and add another 25% for system and temp files plus other applications will give you a ball park figure about how much size SSD you want.
If you are planning to buy a SSD, there are plenty of brands. They are of various prices and sizes. You can get in touch with an expert for computer help in this regard.
