Storage
Your computer’s storage determines how much data you can store. The size and type of storage also determines your laptop’s performance. There are two types of storage options available, Hard Disk Drive (HDD) and Solid State Drive (SSD). HDDs have been around longer than SSDs and are the main storage for older laptops. SSDs are a newer technology that are found in newer laptop models. Laptops with SSDs are faster but are more expensive. If you have a laptop that has a HDD and you want to increase its speed and performance, replacing or adding an SSD will do just that.
