Four Steps to Make a PC Like New Again

Is one of your resolutions having a faster PC next year? Or maybe you want to further improve gaming performance, multi-tasking, and create various content and documents on a laptop? In a statement submitted to Republika.co.id, Western Digital provides four simple steps that can make a PC feel like new again as follows.

Upgrade Internal Storage

To improve PC performance, the first thing to do is to upgrade the internal storage system to SSD. For comparison, 10,000 RPM HDDs have speeds of 140MB per second, while the WD Blue 3D NAND has speeds of up to 560MB per second. This means that upgrading from a hard-disk drive (HDD) to a solid state drive (SSD) can increase PC speeds by up to four times. The process of booting, playing, until the transfer between applications can be more accelerated and no longer slow.

Not only does it make PC performance faster, SSD storage is also more flexible and durable. This is because SSDs already use chip technology, not disks that are easily damaged when scratched or dropped. SSDs are also more environmentally friendly with less than one watt of electricity consumption, compared to HDDs that consume more than 10 watts.

Move unused data

Like electronic equipment in general, if the PC's memory is full, its performance will be hampered. Therefore, as much as possible move some large capacity data such as photos and videos to external storage devices.
