STORAGE DEVICES

 

Post 5: Storage Devices (HDD, SSD, M.2)

Storage is where all data is permanently saved: the operating system, programs, documents, photos, and games.

Main types:

  • HDD (Hard Disk Drive): cheaper and large capacity (1 TB+), but slower.

  • SSD (Solid State Drive): more expensive, but much faster (boots in seconds).

  • M.2 NVMe: the most advanced SSD type, 5–10x faster than an HDD.

Real-life example:

A PC with an HDD might take 1 minute to boot, while with an SSD it starts in just 10 seconds. Also, loading a game like Fortnite may take 3 minutes on HDD and only 30 seconds on SSD.

Tip:

The best combo is to use an SSD for Windows and programs and an HDD for storing photos, movies, or documents.
