First, let's talk about swapping your computer's hard drive for a solid-state drive (SSD). This change can make your computer up to 10 times faster! However, keep in mind that SSDs have a limited number of times they can rewrite data. One way to extend an SSD's life is to choose a drive with more storage than you think you'll need.
Here are some brands we recommend:
SATA:
M.2 SATA:
NVMe:
RAM
Now, let's move on to the next tip: adding more memory. RAM is best described as having more workspace on your desk.
The more RAM you have, the more programs you can run at the same time without your computer slowing down.
