Upgrades

RAM UPGRADE

Improve performance by upgrading your ram! If your computer runs out of ram space it uses a paging file on the hard drive which is considerably slower, this increases loading times when opening programs and in general just makes the entire system crawl along. Prices vary for different ram capacities and types depending on your hardware. Minimum RAM capacity for systems running Windows Vista and up is 4GB but 8GB is recommended for future proofing your computer system.

HDD/SSD UPGRADE

Hard disk drives are becoming a thing of the past.. Solid State Drives use new technology that doesn’t have any moving parts. This makes them very fast, durable, and energy efficient. Windows will boot up, and open programs much faster, and in general will feel snappier. SSD’s have smaller capacities than traditional hard disk drives, we recommend using these as the main storage device holing the operating system, having another external (or if there is space in the computer, internal) hard drive for your pictures, music, documents etc.

If you are looking for a happy medium, we also have hybrid drives that have both build into one, they use a large cache st store frequently used files so it can access them quickly. This gives you some of the performance benefits from an SSD!

Opting out of the new technology we of course still have high capacity HDD’s if you are just looking to increase your storage.

Examples of different capacities;

HDD/ Hybrid: 500GB, 1TB, 2TB, 3TB, 4TB

SSD: 120GB, 240GB, 480GB, 512GB, 750GB, 980GB

Depending on capacity, brand, performance that you’re looking for, cost will vary. Ask for details.
