SSD and RAM are two terms thrown around PCs and laptops, but what are they exactly, and how do they differ? Here's what you need to know.

SSD in an old laptop is the way! I saved myself several hundreds of dollars by making an investment of US$50 with a 256GB SSD and I am doubly thankful that I didn’t have to spend more on RAM.

Solid-state drive (SSD) caching inside network-attached storage (NAS) is when a flash drive is used by the operating system as slower RAM to improve the performance of installed drives. It's worth ...

The theoretical maximum speed of RAM is in its PC number, so a module of PC3-12800 memory can transfer 12,800MB/sec--roughly 30 times faster than the real world performance of an SSD.

In a sense, a RAM Disk is a type of solid state drive, since it doesn't have any mechanical parts. But when you compare the transfers speeds of RAM to an SSD, RAM is significantly faster.

It's technically possible to upgrade the RAM and storage on an Apple M1 Mac mini — but there are several reasons why it's a terrible idea.

Between the RAM, z690, CPU, my RX580 gets about 10-15 FPS better in HZD in its benchmark, and I'm content with it TBH (~65 FPS at 1080p). As for one type of SSD vs another, probably like the RAM.

If your SSD is not detected after a CPU or RAM upgrade, check if you have installed them properly. Use these provided suggestions to fix this issue.
