September 05, 2018Before your new hard drive can work properly, you will need to partition it. Your computer uses the hard drive in multiple ways, and for your operating system to function properly, a part of the hard drive must be sectioned off. Many times, this can mean that your operating system will use the entire hard drive, although that can depend on what you’re using your hard drive for. Thankfully, Windows makes it fairly simple for you to partition your new hard drive, and it can take just a few minutes to accomplish. You can do this on most Windows operating systems, including XP, Vista, and Windows 7 on up.

Short for solid-state drive (and sometimes solid-state disk), an SSD is a computer data storage option that functions without any moving parts. Compared to the traditional method of HDD storage, which is short for hard-disk drive, SSD drives are built without the traditional spinning disk drive and movable hard disk heads used for reading and writing new information to the disk.

Compared to the traditional method of HDD storage, which is short for hard-disk drive, SSD drives are built without the traditional spinning disk drive and movable hard disk heads used for reading and writing new information to the disk. An SSD stores data using flash memory to encode information rather than doing so through a physical writing process, which is one of the reasons SSDs consume less overall power. An SSD works through a simple input/output interface, typically via what are called the Serial ATA or with the higher efficiency of PCI Express and NVMe connections.
