SSD :- ADDLINK S68 512GB SSD NVME PCIE GEN3X4 M.2CIE

 

The advantages of SSD over HDD are many and varied, but the main reasons for the switch are speed, durability and power consumption.

 

An SSD can speed up your computer in several ways. The most obvious is that it can boot your system faster. An SSD can also make your applications load quicker, since they no longer have to compete with the mechanical limitations of an HDD. And since SSDs have no moving parts, they're also more resistant to physical shock, which makes them ideal for laptops and other portable devices.

 

HDDs are power hogs in comparison to SSDs. An SSD can use as little as one-tenth the power of an HDD, which means longer battery life for laptops and other devices that rely on batteries.

 

Finally, SSDs are simply more durable than HDDs. With no moving parts, there's nothing to break or wear out. That means SSDs can withstand far more abuse than HDDs, making them ideal for devices that are likely to be

Hard Drive :- SEAGATE BARRACUDA 1TB                                           ST1000DM010     

Your computer's hard drive is where all of your important files and data are stored. Without a hard drive, your computer would be pretty useless. That's why it's important to keep your hard drive in good working condition. Here are a few tips to help you do just that:

 

1. Keep your hard drive clean. Dust and other debris can build up on your hard drive and cause it to overheat. This can lead to data loss or corruption. So, be sure to keep your hard drive clean and free of dust.

 

2. Don't overfill your hard drive. Just like your computer's memory, your hard drive has a limited amount of space. Once it's full, it can't store any more data. So, be sure to delete old files and data that you no longer need to make room for new ones.

 

3. Back up your hard drive regularly. Even if you take good care of your hard drive, it can still fail.
