The best part of all is that it uses off the shelf SSD or 2.5 " hard drives. The results are beautiful and it puts you firmly in broadcast or film standards with almost any camera or DSLR.

Build a PC Computer - How to choose a hard drive - All New for 2009 - homepcbuilder.com Video Clips. Duration : 9.10 Mins.


Buy the complete series of videos showing how to build a pc computer at www.homepcbuilder.com Overview In lesson 1 we'll cover SATA, IDE, external and SSD hard drives, what features and specs to look for when shopping, and how much you can expect to pay when building your own computer. The hard drive is where all information is stored on your computer. Be it the Windows operating system, programs you install, or files you download and create on the computer. Everything is stored on the hard drive. When selecting a hard drive to install into your computer there are two basic features you need to consider. They are the capacity and the speed of the drive. Capacity Capacity is how much data a hard drive can store. Capacity is measured in Giga Bytes and Tera Bytes. 1 GB is made up of 1000 Mega Bytes. 1 TB is made up of 1000 GB. To give you an example of how much you can fit into 1 GB of hard drive space, take a MP3 audio file. The average MP3 audio file takes up 5 MB. Divide 1000 by 5 and you get 200. So 1 GB of hard drive space can store 200 MP3 music files. A 1 TB hard drive, which is 1000 GB can store 200000 MP3 music files. The size of the drive you choose is up to you. Generally you should buy the biggest drive you can afford. We recommend at least a 750 GB drive. Speed: The speed of the hard drive is determined by the revolution speed of the disk inside the hard drive and the amount of memory cache included in the drive. The rotation speed is measured in RPMs or ...

How To Install A Solid State SSD Hard Drive In A Computer Video Clips. Duration : 10.65 Mins.


Here is how to install a SSD solid state hard drive in a computer. I bought a new computer with a 2 terrabyte standard hard drive, and I wanted to make it faster, so I bought a 120 GB SSD solid state hard drive and installed it in the computer. To replace the regular hard drive with a solid state drive in the computer, I used the manufacturer's backup utility to create backup disks, and then I removed the original hard drive, installed the SSD solid state drive, and did a system restore using the manufacturer's restore disks. The SSD hard drive is super fast, scoring a perfect 7.9 out of 7.9 in the Windows experience rating test. This is a cheap and easy way to make your computer super fast. The computer in the video is an Acer Predator A180-14006 with an Intel i7 2600 processor and an Invidia GT530 2GB video card. The SSD solid state hard drive is a Patriot Pyro. The computer cost 0 and the hard drive is 9.99 after rebate, so for under 00 I have an awesome super-fast computer. This is a worthwhile upgrade.

Solid State Hybrid Drive Reviews; Watch the Solid State Hybrid Drive Reviews here Video Clips. Duration : 2.63 Mins.


Solid State Hybrid Drive Reviews: I replaced my 500GB 5400rpm WD with this Momentus XT after doing exhausting research. I use my MacBoook Pro laptop for analytical work involving large datsets. Here is why I settled on the Momentus XT vs an SSD. Momentus XT - 4GB SLC SSD integrated into the hard drive for speedy access commonly used files - Although not as fast as an SSD, but soooo much cheaper than 300GB+ of SSD space. - More vibration and a little more noise than my WD 500GB, but not significantly so. - Mac OS X doesn't support TRIM. I was concerned that a SSD drive would slow down significantly overtime without it. - Toms Hardware highly recommended it over other 7200 rpm laptop hard drives. See their review for all the techy details. Note that the integrated SSD is used only for reading, not for writing. It essentially clones your commonly used files on the 4GB SSD. If you are looking for a sweet spot between speed and space this is it. The Momentus has a 4GB SLC SSD integrated into the hard drive which allows for very fast reads of commonly used data. This translates into really fast application loading like an SSD. It uses a learning algorithm to decide what to store on the SSD so it takes some time to get to optimal performance. Most people have a lot of data that is accessed infrequently on their hard drive. Thus an SSD is overkill since there isn't much benefit to to storing infrequently accessed on a really fast drive. If you are accessing almost all of your ...
