If you are in the market for buying a new computer or laptop, Mac or PC, one critical component should be considered before making your purchase. In fact, it shouldn’t even be considered, it’s a must.
Forget the traditional hard drive that bogs down machine performance over time, the newest SSD technology, (although not so new) is much faster than the traditional spinning hard drive disk (HDD). SSD is a newer hard drive technology which is used to store your Windows or Mac operating system, your programs, and your files.
Solid State Drive (SSD) prices have been dropping at a rapid rate over many years. When they were first released, SSDs were very expensive relative to the storage that they provided. In time, and with any technology the prices have continued to drop.
The next time you want to buy a computer, look for SSD in its specifications label. Ideally, 256GB of SSD storage should suffice for most users. If you need more space, consider a machine that has 512GB of SSD built in.
The speed boost alone is worth the price.
