Picking a Hard Disk Drive Large Enough to Fit Your Needs

Finding the right capacity hard drive to suit your needs doesn't have to be a difficult job. You just need to ensure you have enough GB or TB to hold your data. Although you might think 40 GB is too small to hold all the data you want to keep, you might consider adding a separate 40 GB internal hard drive for photos or tax documents. Most computers give you the option of running more than one HDD.

What Features Should a Buyer Look for on an Internal Hard Drive?

  • Speed - Although the average speed of most hard drives is 7,200 revolutions per minute (rpm), there are a few models that offer up to 10,000 rpm. What's more, there are low-power, green, or energy-saving drives that have an even lower rpm (5,400 rpm).
  • Interface - The way the drive connects to the computer is the interface and the method it uses to connect can drastically impact the performance. Interfaces include Serial ATA (SATA), Parallel ATA (PATA or IDE), and Serial Attached SCSI (SAS).
  • Form factor - So that the Samsung HDD fits easily into the caddies or bays in most computer cases, the majority come in a 3.5-inch form factor. However, there are other sizes available and others designed for trays or brackets.
  • RAID - Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) is a configuration that gives users added performance, security, and options. Setting up a RAID requires the use of more than one internal hard drive.
  • Cache space - When the time comes to transfer data from one section to another, the hard disk drive uses the cache or buffer (special area of embedded memory) to do this.
  • Capacity - As stated above, internal HDD come in various capacities. Before you install or replace an internal drive, check the capacity and be sure it will fit your computing lifestyle.
  • Performance - It isn't about just one of the above features; it's the combination of all the features working together to produce a performance that delivers everything you need when you need it.

What is the difference between a Hard Disk Drive and a Solid State Drive?

  • Storage – A SSD accesses data from the flash memory. A HDD has internal moving parts that have to move in order to access the data. What's more, a hard disk drive requires defragmentation over time while SSD does not.
  • Speed - Since an SSD does not have any internal moving part, it tends to be faster
  • Power consumption - Every hard drive affects the power consumption of the desktop computer. However, the amount of power it consumes is determined by the type of hard drive.
