1. They’re more durable : Because SSDs don’t have moving parts, they’re more reliable and more vibration/shock-resistant than traditional hard drives. They’re also more resistant to common drops, accidents, and wear and tear since they don’t have the small, susceptible parts of traditional hard drives.

2. They’re faster : Without moving parts to slow your computer down, SSDs aren’t just faster; they’re ready to go when you are. SSDs offer instant-load performance, meaning faster boot times, faster application loading times, and better system responsiveness. They are about 6-7 times faster than regular HDD (read/write speeds).

3. They’re easier to carry : Since SSDs weigh less than hard drives, they’re more mobile-friendly and they help make your laptop easier to carry. With lightweight components and solid construction, SSDs are better suited for the rigors of constant travel.

4. They’re more efficient : Since SSDs have no moving parts, they require less power to operate, which means you’ll get longer battery life. They’re even quieter, too.

Memory Upgrade (RAM)

Since your computer uses memory to perform almost all of its operations, it’s important to make sure it’s equipped with enough memory. Here is a list of symptoms that indicate the need for a memory upgrade :

Symptoms of memory deficiency

• You try to boot your computer and it takes a long time to load.
• You experience poor performance in everyday tasks. Programs either don’t respond or take longer than usual to load.
• You try to multitask and toggle between multiple programs, and your system slows to a crawl.
• You try to load a program and your system freezes.
• In some cases, your computer refuses to operate at all. When you try to open a file or program, your system doesn’t respond.
• You try to perform everyday tasks and your computer just isn’t running quite the way it used to.
