Top 3 reasons to choose SSDs (Solid State Drives) over HDDs (Hard Disk Drives)

Are you using SSD (Solid state drive)?, or you are using old fashioned HDD (Hard drive disk).

Today I am going to tell you the benefits of SSD and why you change your system’s HDD with SSD.

So, here are the top 3 reasons of choosing SSDs.

  • Fast booting and extremely fast file transfer rate – You will be amazed by watching the speed of SSD. SSDs are approx. 10x faster than 7200 rpm HDD. It will take around 10-20 seconds to boot-up your system with SSD which takes around 30-90 seconds with HDD. File transfer is also very fast, approx. max. 500 Mbps in comparison with max. 50 Mbps of HDD.
  • Better multi-tasking – No matter which processor you are using, whether it is core i3, i5 or i7, SSD will maximize the multi-tasking capability of your system which means you can run multiple application at the same time without any system hanging problem.
  • Increased battery run time – Yes, read it correct. SSDs really increase you system battery run time. The reason is very simple, since SSDs don’t have any moving parts like HDD, they require very less power in comparison with the HDD.

These were the top 3 reasons to switch from HDD to SSD. There is only one demerit with the SSDs and that is they are costly. 120GB SSD will cost you around Rs 5000 in which you can buy 1TB HDD. But  on the top of everything, SSDs will return every penny that you are spend while purchasing one for you by their extra-ordinary performance.

Top 5 desktop manufacturing companies in the world 2018

We all have used the desktop computers/laptops since our childhood. But now a days smartphones are trying to get the place of desktop computer. Today’s smart phones can do everything for you like sending emails, video recording, video playing, document editing, photo editing, surfing games etc. and all these things with a portable design.

So, here is the list of top 5 desktop manufacturing companies in the world in 2018 by market share percentage.

  • ASUS (Taipei, Taiwan) – 6.2%
  • Apple (California, U.S.) – 7.3%
  • Dell (Texas, U.S.) – 16.1%
  • Lenovo (North Carolina, U.S.) – 21.6%
  • HP (California, U.S.) – 22.8%
  • Others – 26%

Top 10 GPU manufacturers in the world 2018

If you are person who does video or photo-editing, or if you are a gamer, then I am 100% sure that you know about GPUs. If not, no problem, you can check my other post “what is GPU?”.

So here are the top GPU manufacturing companies. I am sure that, most of the names you are going to read for the first time.

  • NVIDIA (California, U.S.)
  • AMD (California, U.S.)
  • Asus (Taipei, Taiwan)
  • Intel (California, U.S.)
  • Gigabyte (New taipei city, Taiwan)
  • EVGA corporation (California, U.S.)
  • Sapphire technology (Hong-Kong, China)
  • Zotac (Hong-Kong, China)
  • Via (New-York, U.S.)
  • SiS (London, U.K.)

Interestingly NVIDIA is leading the market with 72.5% market share, which is greater than the sum of all other GPU manufacturers………Seriously amazing..  I think this is enough to tell about the NVIDIA’s dominance in the market.

Difference between GPU and CPU

If you have heard the names GPU and CPU, then you might probably think about the difference between them. GPU is designed to perform task in a different way in which CPU does.

We can differentiate both on the basis of following aspects-

  • Cores

You may heard words like dual-core, quad-core CPUs. But in case of GPUs, they use thousands of smaller cores to process the data in a parallel manner efficiently.

  • Graphics processing capability

Most of CPU are designed to provide basic graphics to display only Power-point presentations, low-resolution videos and basic games. These types of CPUs have Intel’s integrated graphics controller like Intel HD graphics 5500.

But GPUs are made for the purpose of rendering very high resolution videos, 3-D games and 3-D images.

  • Clock speed

GPU run at comparatively low speed than CPU.

NVIDIA (Geforce 1080) GPU – 1600 MHz

Intel (i7 8th generation) CPU- 3.2 GHz

These were the basic differences between CPU and GPU.

What is GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) ?

Are you using a computer which can’t run 3-D image processing soft wares or high-end 3-D games?

Then I am 100% sure that your PC wouldn’t have a GPU. So, today in this post I am going to explain what are GPUs? and why they are used in computers and other devices?

Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is an electronic circuit specially made to enhance the capability of computer to process the images at a very high rate and more efficiently.

Many gadgets where GPU is employed are

  • Gaming consoles like PSP, Play-stations etc.
  • Smart phones
  • PCs
  • Work stations (A single computer with multi-user Operating system)

But now the question arises how GPUs can do these tasks so efficiently?GPUs have few thousands of cores which work in parallel to render (to produce) images at very high rate.

First company to develop GPU was NVIDIA in 1999 and it was GeForce 256. Some specs of Geforce 256 are follows

  • It could process 10 million polygons or 17 millions triangle per second
  • It could do billions of calculations per second
  • It had 22 million transistors at that time (1999) which is marvelous
