@MultiKnull SSD is short for Solid State Drive. Most commonly, hard drives are hard disk drives, which are much cheaper, and work great. SSDs being used in PCs are rather new, and are significantly more expensive. A terrabyte (1,000 GB) HDD can be under $100, but a SSD of only 100 GB can cost $500. There is another good option, a hybrid drive. These use a combination of SS and Disk to deliver speeds close to that of a "pure" SSD, but with more affordability. [1/2]
@MultiKnull (continued) I just recently purchased a hybrid 500 GB drive for $150 for my laptop. It is very fast, and I get a decent amount of storage space. Generally, a hybrid drive should be plenty, and an SSD is not necessary. One other important bit of information is that a fast hard drive won't necessarily speed up your computer. Same with a bigger one. It will speed up any file operations, like saving a document, loading an image, or copying files to the disk. [2/3]
@MultiKnull (continued again) Most OS's like Windows use a lot of file operations internally, so OS speeds should get a boost too. For gaming, a fast HD's importance depends on the game. If you're familiar with Minecraft, it loads and saves "chunks" very often to the drive, so a fast drive has an impact of performance. A game with lots of assets, like Skyrim, will have less loading time with a faster HD. So those are the basics (and a ton of details) of choosing a HD. Continued again -_- [3/4]
@MultiKnull One other thing to look into is RAID. Mostly, RAID is for backups, but RAID 0, or stripign, one type of RAID, is good for expanding HD space. You can RAID 0 2 drives together, to effectively combine them. So if I took 2 hard disk drives, 1 TB each, and setup RAID 0, I would effectively have one 2TB HDD. Your motherboard may have an onboard RAID controller, or your can purchase one to plug in to a PCI card slot.
Wow, I just wrote a ton. Hope that helps you choose a hard drive! [4/4]
I recommend the WD velociraptor 600gb because it the fastest sata hard drive u will ever find but wirg the new ssd (solid state drive) the velociraptor have been harder to find in store like best buy and probably frys in store.
If you're considering buying an SSD, please note that the capacity of SSD's is much lower than a 'normal' HDD.. If you have the money, i'd recommend buying an SSD as a 'primary' hard drive (install the OS and your 'main'-programs here) and an HDD as your secondary, storing all your data..
@pchelper102 all you need to check is if your harddrive is IDE or SATA. If you have a SATA HD then you want a SATA compatible motherboard(most are), if you have an IDE HD, you need to make sure your motherboard has an IDE connector.

@sweetfeat1 haha dude. Im gonna build mine soon and could you please inbox me your msn or something? Because I want to ask you tons of question regarding building one. Nice processor! I was looking at it just now haha.
Get an SSD it's a lot faster but more expensive so get one that will hold your OS for more speed. the standard SATA hard drive is more for sticking shit loads of data in.
@usmceflips yea, its called a terabyte (1000GB) you can have up to maybe a few thousand. you can even have multiple hard drives in one computer. so yea you can have 900gigs
i think you did a very good job in the tutorial, its nice to watch and understandable to all people even sheeps that dono nothing about computers like my gf :-) good job, keep it up!;)
@Muse94Muse Hard Drive and Hard Disk are almost interchangeable. There is a slight difference, but you won't get laughed at by anyone who's worth your time.
The difference is that Hard Disk refers directly to HDDs (Hard Disk Drives) which use hard magnetic disks.
There is another type of hard drive called a SSD (Solid State Drive) which works on a similar principle to RAM, SD chips and Memory Sticks, and is way faster and more expensive when compared to HDDs. Hope that helps.
I NEED HELP, my dad just got £17,000 cos of something and i might be able to get a gaming pc for my b' day, im only 13 but im a seriouse gamer and also i've got GCSEs comming soon so i need one. What pc shall i get or shall i custom build one?
I did, when I was 14 or so, and it was a great decision.
I would advise starting by looking at various shop-bought PCs, and seeing what kind of spec you want, what kind of price you want to go for. Then, get a budget, a precise max amount of money you want to spend (say £700).
From there, have a look at some online forums, and try and assemble a list of basic parts from their 'suggested' PCs, etc. Then, get them to check it, to see if it is compatible and worth it.
Remember, you really need a budget first, and it's probably the hardest thing to pin down. If your dad says he's willing to "Give you £1000" of the £17,000, you have a budget, but if he isn't sure, then shopping around for PCs is a good way to find one.
Bear in mind, it might seem like your home-made PC will cost more, but remember that you're going for upgradability, and you're getting better hardware that they won't tell you about in the pre-built. It's really cheaper to build your own.
You could try buildyourown (DOT) org, that's what I used to build mine. They have some good example builds, and a great community that will check your projects for you.
If you have any queries, you can message me, and I'll try and troubleshoot them for you.
if you have 17,000 pounds get it from Alienware -- when yuo have that amount of money definately get it from alienware. get the Area 51 ALX desktop -- cost around 10,000 USD to get everything maxed out -- but its amazing.
@crudnup I know this is going to piss off a lot of fan boys, but if you can I would go for a console, for games, unless there is some particular reason you want a PC.
At the moment I have no choice but to use a PC for gaming, but there have been just so many issues, particularly with things like DRM and multiplayer play that I never had to go though with consoles. Seriously, PSN and XBL just make things so much easier.
Thanks for the comment everyone and hectic but i've got ps3 and i have got my computer now. its a packard bell imedia A3621 UK. Its got 4 amd cores, i got pc world to remove the intergrated nvidia and add the new nvidia which is one of the new ones, and its got 4gb ram. The pc is fairly good but i obviously dont have enough experiance because its not amazing, i had the impression that it would be so good but its ok. comment continues
Im so annoyed because i cant play age of empires 3 and other games because my os is to new and doesnt support it which is stupid because surley it doesnt need an operating system to run a game, how does it help the game run by
When MS came out with vista the rewrote much of the Windows API. Which was a good decision overall but it messed up support for a lot of old software. Anything after Vista should work on in 7 but XP software support is a bit patchy.
Just type.
"[software you want to work] windows 7" and you should find some solution. If you need to know how to resolve technical issues in the future, have a look at the XKCD tech support sheet.
@hectixx Yes, def go with consoles if you are on the cheaper side, but if you have more money, the PC is the way to go. Its cheaper in the long run because: no need to buy the newest console, just a new part here and there, modding, and better graphics (if you have moneys)
@freshkid429 Try newegg then, they have everything you'll need, but if you're not sure about compatability they do bundle packs that you still assemble, but have everything you need.
I've never built a PC myself but I've been doing some research for the last couple of hours and I have to admit I completely disagree. I noticed that your comment was posted about 8 months ago so maybe their policies were different back then but most of the parts that I tried to find were discontinued or no longer in stock. A lot of places referred me to newegg because they claimed that they they free shipping but I went to their site and there was no free shipping.
@andyrooney11 It depends on the item it if is free shipping or not. Most of the items are free shipping however some aren't. None the less newegg has amazing customer service(In my experience) and if you happen to get a DOA part. It's fairly easy to claim it. I think the reason i put "Super Awesome Shipping" was because it was really fast and for me it was free.

for everybody out there 3.0gbps is really 300mbps i know your thinking "1000mbps per 1gbps" and you are right, but sata II 3.0gbps is at 300mbps because if it was 3 gigs per second i cound copy an entire 6gig file in 2 seconds but i cant!!!!! ... and dont go insulting ppl because you think they are wrong...
@jdfrt12569 You couldn't be more wrong. lets do some easy math 8 bits = 1byte 1024 Mb in 1 Gb So if it was 3Gbps then you would do this 3 * 1024 = 3072 (Turn Gb into Mb) 3072 / 8 = 384(Turn Mb into MB) Thus it would be 384 MBps // Since u were working with gbps I'll convert it back from MB to mbps ... You're hard drive isn't only working on that coping process or ur whole computer would freeze because it would only load one thing.
your the biggest noob ive ever seen its also measured in gbps because measuring it in mbps takes forever compared to gbps. basicly gbps is representing a big amount of mbps. for example 1 gbps = 1000 mbps so this should answer your question and you shouldnt be calling people a noob till you got your facts straight
isnt it 1000 mbps for 1 gbps? if so it should be 3000 mbps for 3 gbps. If i am not mistaken i believe this is how its measured because if it wasnt measured like this then your harddrive would fill up quicker then it normal would

Micro center is WAYYYYYYY cheaper than newegg and tigerdirect, if your state has one go there
javidan10 1 year ago
Get an SSD it's a lot faster but more expensive so get one that will hold your OS for more speed. the standard SATA hard drive is more for sticking shit loads of data in.

is it possible to have 900 gb of hard drive
usmceflips 1 year ago
@usmceflips yeah but it most likely won't be internal. you can get like 1 terabyte (1000gb's) external hard drives.

@usmceflips YES
b3dm3n555 1 year ago
@usmceflips yea, its called a terabyte (1000GB) you can have up to maybe a few thousand. you can even have multiple hard drives in one computer. so yea you can have 900gigs

what is the difference between HardDrive and Hardisk? or is it the same?
Muse94Muse 1 year ago
@Muse94Muse Hard Drive and Hard Disk are almost interchangeable. There is a slight difference, but you won't get laughed at by anyone who's worth your time.
The difference is that Hard Disk refers directly to HDDs (Hard Disk Drives) which use hard magnetic disks.
There is another type of hard drive called a SSD (Solid State Drive) which works on a similar principle to RAM, SD chips and Memory Sticks, and is way faster and more expensive when compared to HDDs. Hope that helps.

crudnup 2 years ago
You should build you own!
I did, when I was 14 or so, and it was a great decision.
I would advise starting by looking at various shop-bought PCs, and seeing what kind of spec you want, what kind of price you want to go for. Then, get a budget, a precise max amount of money you want to spend (say £700).
From there, have a look at some online forums, and try and assemble a list of basic parts from their 'suggested' PCs, etc. Then, get them to check it, to see if it is compatible and worth it.
molewizard 2 years ago
Remember, you really need a budget first, and it's probably the hardest thing to pin down. If your dad says he's willing to "Give you £1000" of the £17,000, you have a budget, but if he isn't sure, then shopping around for PCs is a good way to find one.
Bear in mind, it might seem like your home-made PC will cost more, but remember that you're going for upgradability, and you're getting better hardware that they won't tell you about in the pre-built. It's really cheaper to build your own.
molewizard 2 years ago
thankyou

You could try buildyourown (DOT) org, that's what I used to build mine. They have some good example builds, and a great community that will check your projects for you.
If you have any queries, you can message me, and I'll try and troubleshoot them for you.

if you have 17,000 pounds get it from Alienware -- when yuo have that amount of money definately get it from alienware. get the Area 51 ALX desktop -- cost around 10,000 USD to get everything maxed out -- but its amazing.

@crudnup I know this is going to piss off a lot of fan boys, but if you can I would go for a console, for games, unless there is some particular reason you want a PC.
At the moment I have no choice but to use a PC for gaming, but there have been just so many issues, particularly with things like DRM and multiplayer play that I never had to go though with consoles. Seriously, PSN and XBL just make things so much easier.

Thanks for the comment everyone and hectic but i've got ps3 and i have got my computer now. its a packard bell imedia A3621 UK. Its got 4 amd cores, i got pc world to remove the intergrated nvidia and add the new nvidia which is one of the new ones, and its got 4gb ram. The pc is fairly good but i obviously dont have enough experiance because its not amazing, i had the impression that it would be so good but its ok. comment continues

When MS came out with vista the rewrote much of the Windows API. Which was a good decision overall but it messed up support for a lot of old software. Anything after Vista should work on in 7 but XP software support is a bit patchy.
Just type.
"[software you want to work] windows 7" and you should find some solution. If you need to know how to resolve technical issues in the future, have a look at the XKCD tech support sheet.

@hectixx Yes, def go with consoles if you are on the cheaper side, but if you have more money, the PC is the way to go. Its cheaper in the long run because: no need to buy the newest console, just a new part here and there, modding, and better graphics (if you have moneys)

I've never built a PC myself but I've been doing some research for the last couple of hours and I have to admit I completely disagree. I noticed that your comment was posted about 8 months ago so maybe their policies were different back then but most of the parts that I tried to find were discontinued or no longer in stock. A lot of places referred me to newegg because they claimed that they they free shipping but I went to their site and there was no free shipping.
andyrooney11 1 year ago
@andyrooney11 It depends on the item it if is free shipping or not. Most of the items are free shipping however some aren't. None the less newegg has amazing customer service(In my experience) and if you happen to get a DOA part. It's fairly easy to claim it. I think the reason i put "Super Awesome Shipping" was because it was really fast and for me it was free.

your the biggest noob ive ever seen its also measured in gbps because measuring it in mbps takes forever compared to gbps. basicly gbps is representing a big amount of mbps. for example 1 gbps = 1000 mbps so this should answer your question and you shouldnt be calling people a noob till you got your facts straight
nightgame1 2 years ago 3
You just made a fool of yourself.
Yes, it is measured in Gbps.
Search in wikipedia or hardware websites before writing again.
djmiranda15 2 years ago
Great video, but you made an error in the SATA transfer speed.
It's calculated in gigabit per second (Gbps).
3 Gbps = 300 MBps
djmiranda15 2 years ago 2
isnt it 1000 mbps for 1 gbps? if so it should be 3000 mbps for 3 gbps. If i am not mistaken i believe this is how its measured because if it wasnt measured like this then your harddrive would fill up quicker then it normal would
nightgame1 2 years ago
yes 1 Gbps is also 1000 Mbps
But "b" stands for bits and "B" stands for bytes.
So 1 Gbps = 1000 Mbps/100MBps
Get it? ;)
djmiranda15 2 years ago
I thought there were 8 bits in a byte.
fadenkreuze 2 years ago
Yes there are, but once you start going into much bigger sizes, you round it up to 10 bits in a byte.
It's easier to "do the math" that way.
