hi guys don't go here today and show you how to shop for storage devices and maybe be happy with your life I'm serious look at how happy I am now we come to storage devices there are three thing you want to keep in mind the performance the capacity and the data safety on top of data safety later we're going to come to performance and capacity I always get the fastest and the latest on the market is fun to have your hands on the best I can't afford that oh really okay all right in that case and talk about picking and choosing and balancing the two the performance and the capacity so people like my friend Jam here can afford them now there are three types of start devices the first one is the internal drive if you're buying one as a main drive to a host operating system this is where performance is very important in this case you're going to chew a smaller size so instead drive maybe had a 20 gig or two and a 40 gig about $200 or less to use for this purpose you can always extend the storage of the computer by using an external drive or in case of a desktop computer you can also use another regular hard drive as a secondary to host data for example this is one of my test machine here and as you can see I you an SSD over here as the main drive and then I used another regular hard drive up top here as a drive to hold data this setup is actually the best in terms of the balance between performance capacity and of course affordability now the second tie up storage is the external drive in this case performance is not the most important thing but the capacity so how much is enough you do not need too much either but make sure that you have a drive that have ammo store space than the internal drive that you want to back it up on so something between 500 gigabyte and one tear buy should be good for most people there's one exception Thunderball these drive are actually very expensive but they also offer very good performance and the only professional would need that and professional tend to spend a lot of money on the equipment now the last type store device is the network attached or NASA server such as this synergy right here now these devices are connected to your network and therefore the performance is limited by the performance of the network itself and a gigabit network which is the fastest option for consumer caps at about 130 megabyte per second that's that you do have to spend money on the internal drive just by the drive that is long lasting and use less energy such as this Green Drive right here to use inside the nest server all right now let's talk about data security this is important because when a hard drive die you lose a lot more than just the drive itself the information hole actually worth more than the cost of a new drive for that reason for storage you do not want to buy use or refurbish drive you also want to buy dry for the right environment for example this lucy record drive right here it can handle shock and drop and it's good for people who work in the rough environment oops the drives okay my toe my we broke up the drives okay there's also another option called redundancy for example this dry right here comes with sick drive bay and you can actually set them to u1 or to the drive as redundant meaning that if one of the hard ride here died you can replace it without losing the data and finally backup instead of buying just one portable drive right here you buy two in this case you can put your data on two separate location in addition to your computer the good thing is these two are actually very affordable with some capacity costing a lot less than $100 there you go that's it for now to find out more go check out the detail buying guide c-calm if you have a question or want to find out how happy I really am you can reach me via Twitter or my facebook page and it will very impressed and that's because I'm dome know and this has been a proof guy on how to shop for your storage you
