 Alright, what's up internet? So today pagusapan natin kung bibili ka ng storage or memory, anong kailangan mo malaman para di masayang pera mo. And as usual sa video series nato, dadaan tayo sa lahat ng basic parts ng computer and then iche-check off natin yan. Ito, for memory, kailangan mo hong tutukan. Itong part nato. Itong part nato, no need to worry about that. Dadaan tayo sa list of parts you need to know if you're buying memory. CPU, no need to know. CPU cooler, no need. Motherboard, yes kailangan to tutukan yan. GPU, no need. PSU, no need. RGB lighting, no need. Case, yes kailangan to tutukan yan. So for the motherboard, simple lang naman. Kung bibili ka ng hard drive or ng SSD which are the two main forms of internal memory, for the motherboard kailangan mo lang iche-check yung drive na bibilin mo, SATA BIAN or M.2. If SATA, make sure the motherboard has an available SATA port. And if M.2, make sure that the motherboard has an available M.2 slot. There are different kinds of compatibility for the M.2 although usually medyo standard na yung sizing ito. But if you want to make sure, just check with the motherboard supplier what M.2 you're getting and if that's compatible with the motherboard. And mahalaga din, sobrang basic, pero kung SATA, usually yung SATA cables nang gagaling dun sa motherboard. And then, pa minsan, matagal na like, nakalimutan mo na na wala na yung mga SATA cables na yan if you're just upgrading. Madalas na mangyari na may papasok na customer sa shop, gusto niya bumilin ng hard drive or ng SSD, yung problema wala siyang SATA cables. So you can either buy from the shop or mas mainam kung na likpit mo pa yun or na alalo mo pa kung nasan yung SATA cables because they don't usually come with the drives, they usually come with the motherboard. Kung M.2 naman, nakatorninyo lang yun sa motherboard. There's an M.2 screw which also comes with the motherboard. And yun, madalas yan nang mangyari na gusto mag-upgrade ni customer sa M.2 pero wala na yung M.2 screw ng motherboard niya. Again, you can buy from the shop but it's better sana kung nandon pa rin yung on hand mo. Mas mahirap makahanap ng M.2 screw, yung SATA cable medyo madalipa. Yung problema kasi sa M.2 screws, yung mga extra usually binabenta yun in bulk so walang bumibilin nung masyado pero depende sa shop kung wala kung nawalan yung M.2 screw mo maybe the shop you're buying the drive from has. So actually yun lang sa motherboard. If it's a SATA drive, make sure there's a SATA port. If it's an M.2, make sure there's an available M.2 connector on the MOBO and make sure you have the wire for SATA and the screw for M.2. Casing naman, kung bibili ka nung internal memory, anong kelanong malaman, most drives are either 2.5 inch, yun yung mas maliit usually SSD size pero may mga HDD din ganoon na size or 3.5 inch. You just need to make sure that your casing still has an available drive bay. Ano ba yung drive bay? Actually, that's just the term for kung sansinisik sik yung drive. So kung may available na drive bay for the size of the memory that you're getting. Kung bibili ka nung hard drive na 3.5 inch then make sure there's an available 3.5 inch drive bay in your casing. Ganoon din sa SSD na 2.5 inch. Pero, actually, kung di ma naman concern yung aesthetics, kung yung SSD wala naman moving parts yun. So actually, pwede mo lang idikit yun kahit saan. I mean, it's not recommended. It looks ugly. Hindi maganda yung case management. I mean, you know. But if you really don't care, you just want to upgrade your drive and wala nang available na drive bay, yung 2.5 inch na size. Sobrang diit lang nung. Pwede mo lang idikit yun kahit saan sa case. Kung abot yung wire dun sa ilalim, you can just rest it on the floor of the casing. And as long as you don't jostle the case around, it should be fine. Again, this is not recommended. But if you know, you really don't want to upgrade to a 2.5 inch drive and you don't have the drive base, then sticking that drive somewhere, just anywhere really in the case. Okay na yun. Kagana, again. And it's really up to the need of the customer kung walaan mo siyang pakaysa aesthetics. He just wants to keep his case and he wants to get an SSD or a 2.5 inch drive. Then, yeah, you can just sort of lash it anywhere, stick it anywhere. Basta medyo out of the way. Hindi naman magagalaw at hindi mo rin gagalawin yung case mo. So, actually, sobrang simple lang for internal memory. You just need to worry about mother board. Simple lang. And then the case. Simple lang din yung requirements nila. So, since feeling kong ganoan hindi naman sulit yung video na to, so, of course, dagdagan natin yung kontin additional information. Ano ba tong memory na to? And actually, medyo nakakalito din pa minsan yung memory kasi ginagamit siya to refer to two different components in a computer. Yung RAM, memory yun. Yung internal storage, memory din yun. So, what's the difference? They both deal with storing information pero yung RAM, short-term memory lang yun. Yung internal storage, long-term memory. So, kung bagay yung RAM, para nag-aaral ka nung test the night before naka-cram ka. Let's say, may test ka sa history. Inaaral mo yung buhay ni Rizal. Kailan siya pinatay. Nambaginawa niya kaya siya tinapon sa dapitan. Sini mga shota niya, mga ganoon. So, lahat yung the night before kina-cram mo sa utak mo kasi alam mo, lalabas yung mga yun sa test kinabukasan. Ganun din sa RAM. Yung RAM, short-term memory, sino-store lang niya yung mga most recent instructions na-in-execute ng computer. Kasi inisip ng mga programmers, malaman kung in-execute yun recently, kailan rin ma-tandaan o ma-execute ka agad in the near future. So, makita din yun. You're playing a game. Paulit-ulit lang yung instructions sa game. So, kung na-store na yung instructions na yung sa RAM, di na kailangan hanapin ng CPU dun sa kalakalaking hard drive. Nandun lang siya nakatutok sa mas maliit na short-term memory. At saka usually, mas nabilis yung transfer rates ng RAM kais sa internal storage. So, mas madali talagang hanapin yung information at ma-transmit dun sa other parts ng computer, no, CPU, siya ng GPU. Kaya buhibilis yung operations ng computer, depende sa size nung RAM, kasi yun yag hindi na niya hinahanap sa long-term memory, hinahanap na lang niya dun sa short-term memory. And just like, ikaw kung nagaral ka for a test, dumating ka sa test, either nasagot mo or hindi, pakatapos ng test, takalimutan mo na yan. Dima na maalala sa nagaral si Rizal, dima na maalala san siya pinatay, dima na maalala anong year siya pumunta sa España, kalimutan mo na yan. Nakramo na the night before, pumasok, nagamit, kalimutan. Ganon din yung RAM. Palagay nagbabago yung information sa loob ng RAM, depending on yung most recent instructions na in-execute ng computer. In comparison or tinanating sa long-term storage, hindi nagbabago yung contents nung internal storage. Or, of course nagbabago, pero ikaw nagbabago, nag-install ka ng program, nag-delete ka ng files. Dun lang siya magbabago. Long-term memory persists even if you turn off the computer. Yung RAM kasi, pag pinatay mo na yung computer, wala nang laman yun. Yung internal storage is faster, but it keeps the information as long as the drives are okay. So, to continue the analogy, there are some things you just never forget. What's your birthday? Sini yung girlfriend mo nung grade 7, na brinakan ka, tas one week later, kasama nanya yung best friend mo. Yung matibong ganon, never mo nakakalimutan. Buong buhay mo, nandun lang yun sa memory mo. Ganon din, yung long-term memory nung hard drive. Basically, if you don't tell the computer not to delete it, it will just stay there forever as long as the drives are okay. So, yun yung two kinds of memory, yung RAM, yung internal storage. Dun naman si internal storage may dalawang classy. There's the hard drive, which most, mas luma yung hard drive, so mas familiar yun sa atin. Yung SSD. Hard drives are slower and they are composed ng moving parts. Kasi para mabasa nung computer yung hard drive may umiikot na disk dun sa loob. Kaya hindi talaga recommended na galawin mo yung computer, kasi fisikali pwede yung ma-jolt yung disk at tomama dun sa sides or something, makarunong physical damage yung hard disk. Yung SSD naman mas bago and mas mabilis sila. There are no moving parts. SSD, solid state drive. Actually, yung SSD parang malaking RAM lang yun na mas mahaba yung memory. They basically use the same kind of memory. SSDs are much faster than hard drives and usually they're smaller. Usually yung hard drives 3.5 inches yun, usually yung SSDs na SATA are 2.5 inches. And I mentioned the SSD na SATA. Kasi may dalawang uri nung SSD. May SATA SSD and may M.2 SSD. Medyo nakakalito, kaya medyo hinahinay lang tayo, medyo easing into the different kinds. So may hard drive, mas mabagal, mas maingay, kasi may gumagalaw na parts, mas malaki usually. And then may SSD, mas mabilis, walang ingay, kasi walang moving part and mas maliit. Yung SSD may dalawang kinds. May SATA SSD and M.2 SSD. Yung pinagkaiba nila, una is the size. Yung SATA SSD is a 2.5 inch. Mas malaki lang siya kontek is sa credit card. I mean, sa slightly larger credit card. M.2 naman mas maliit pa doon. Parang manipis lang siya na rectangle. Kung nakakita ka nung RAM stick, an M.2 looks like that except may be slightly thinner. Yung speeds lang nila, pareho lang, yung SATA SSD yung M.2 SSD. Pero, and again, you know, medyo, nakakalito, yung M.2 may version ng M.2 na natilatawag na NVMe. And then yun, sobrang bilis nun. Mas mabilis kaysa sa regular M.2 and mas mabilis kaysa sa SATA SSD. Basically, yung NVMe, special memory yun, ginagamit niya yung PCIe lanes nung motherboard. Sobrang bilis nun data transfer rate because it's able to use PCIe kumpara doon sa mas luma na SATA standard or SATA format. Pero, hindi lahat ng M.2s NVMe's. Hindi rin lahat ng NVMe's M.2, pero karaniwan ng NVMe's M.2. In fact, usually I just tell all the customers that all NVMe's are M.2 but not all M.2s are NVMe. There are exceptions to that first statement that all NVMe's are M.2s but they're very rare. You won't usually find them here and yun, kung consumer PC level ka, wag mo na problemahin. Just stick with the general rule that all NVMe's are M.2. Pero kung regular M.2s na kasing bilis lang yung SATA and datin mas mahal tong M.2 kahit SATA speed lang siya kasi mas malit siya, mas manipis and medyo may, actually to be honest, medyo may confusion pa rin na rin nung mga tao na M.2. Inisip nila mas mabilis. But that's not true. You need to get the NVMe M.2 to get that extra speed boost. But I've noticed lately that the suppliers have been pricing the M.2 SSDs at the same price as the SATA SSDs. To reflect na, oh na, yung bilis nila parayo lang yan. It's just that iba yung form factor ni M.2 mas manipis and if you want to get the super fast speeds of the M.2 you need to get an NVMe M.2. So, dami nagtatangong sa amin kung mas madali ba masira ang SSD kasi mas bago and usually kasama sa manufacturer specs how many times, how many millions of times or something you can read or write to an SSD. Pero bottom line from practical experience, we've never had a customer bring back an SSD and saying na nag-fail tong SSD ninyo. Ako personally, mga 5 years na ako gumagamit ng ibad-ibang uri nung SSD sa personal rig ko every day, ino-on ko yan, every day nag-agamit and no problems. I have it alongside a hard drive and parayo sa lang walang problema. So, yes, you'll still find people saying na mas reliable pa din yung hard disk drive. But to be honest, that's old school thinking yung medyo, nasanay lang dun tapos di na makamove on. On the average, SSDs, I've seen, actually, website saying na mas reliable pang ayung mga SSDs. All I can say is from my personal experience and dito sa shop, at least kasing reliable yung SSD dun sa hard drive compared to the hard drive. And we always recommend regardless kung anong build mo, kung pang office tang yan, kung pang gaming, kung pang editing, pang streaming, always get an SSD even if just for the windows, for the OS, kasi erlob sobrang laking quality of life improvement. Ang bilis talaga nung SSD compared to the regular hard drive. Yung usual na tanong din, pwede ba kung ipaghalo yung SSD tsaka HDD sa isang system? Yes, halang problema yun. Again, I don't know where this kung san galing kung parang huna-huna or yung myth na di pwede ipagsama yung dalawa sa isang system. Again, my own system has two SSDs and one hard drive. They're all installed properly, no problems. I've used it for years. I can game, I can stream, I can edit. There's really no problem at all if you have both an SSD and a hard drive or multiple SSDs and multiple hard drives in one system. So yun, medyo matalilang naman for internal storage.
