HDD vs. SSHD vs. SSD

If you are low on storage because you have downloaded the latest 50+ GB videogames, and you are willing to update your hard drive system, and you go to the local shop, and you see all this weird letters: SSD, HDD, SSHD; but you do not have any clue about what they mean, then this post is for you.

First thing you should think about, is how much money are you willing to spend on your memory, and how much memory do you want to get. The best option for begginers would probably be somewhere around 500GB-1TB(1000GB)(1GB=1,000,000,000 bytes) which is a fair amount, but if you like downloading stuff a lot, you would probably watch out for 2TB-4TB, which clearly will result more expensive.

 The real difference between those storages, is the time they will spend procesing certain actions you will perform on your PC. HDD is the cheapest, but it is also the slowest. SSHD is a hybryd between HDD and SDD, which is somewhere in the middle between price and capabilty. Finally SSD the fastest one, but it is also way more expensive, which is only good if you are willing to spend an extra 100 bucks on your customization, and it is also harder to install in some older cases that do not have  SSD adaptation.

What is RAM, and why does it matter? 

Have you ever wondered what is RAM, or have you ever wondered why does your computer works slower when you have a lot of programs open? The answer is RAM, well not exactly RAM...
Lets start with that, that RAM means Random Access Memories, and that it is a form of temporary computer storage, which tablets and phones also use.

<<--------THIS IS RAM

The more programs you have open, the more RAM you use. Lets suppose that RAM is a water bucket, which can hold a certain amount of water (memory), which means that the more RAM you have, the more things you can have open at the same time without the computer freezing. The common types of RAM computers are 2GB,4GB,8GB,16GB, ant the mighty 64GB. Smartphones usually use around 2-4GB of RAM, because they don't do a lot of hard operations, but gamers and desighners usually use around 16-32GB, because they like to have a lot of programs open at the same time.

<<-----THOSE ARE RAM SOCKETS

To install more RAM you need to buy either a pair, or two pairs of the same GB RAM, and you need to carefully plug it into your sockets, removing your old RAM. You can only do it with Personal computers, because laptops have integrated RAM. To check how to properly install RAM check out a video tutorial on Youtube, there are plenty of them!
