Higher Capacity Internal Hard Disk Drives
Creating documents, installing programs, and downloading content from the internet all require storage space. This makes hard drives key components in any computing setup, and all computers come with an internal hard drive. However, with time the drives can break down or cease to be sufficient for your storage needs. When this happens, there is a wealth of potential replacements available.
What Should You Consider When Getting an Internal Hard Disk Drive?
- Storage capacity: The capacity of your hard disk will depend on usage. While 500 GB HDDs are the standard option in most computers, you can get up to 16 TB per drive. The more large files you store like music videos, movies, and games, the larger you need that hard drive to be.
- Interface: Make sure your computer has the right connection for your hard drive. Most computers have either ATA (PATA/IDE) hard drives or serial ATA (SATA) hard drives. While both connection interfaces are great choices for PCs, SATA hard drives are improved versions and will perform better.
- Speed: Drive speeds express in revolutions per minute (RPMs), and the higher the number, the faster the data transfers. With a fast hard drive, your computer boots faster and run programs faster.
- Power consumption: With an energy efficient hard drive, you can enjoy longer battery life and reduced noise level. Drives that consume more power can produce more heat, making the fans work harder, leading to an increase in the overall system noise level.
- Cache: This is the temporary memory space that a hard drive uses when transferring data from one section to another. All other things being equal, the larger the cache, the faster the performance.
- Form factor: The physical size of your disk drive can take influence from your current setup. Generally, data drives come in two form factors: the 3.5-inch drive for desktops and the 2.5-inch drive for laptops.
