00:00OK, so you're picking on a new PC
00:02you're going to want to think about how much storage you need
00:05and what kind of storage drive makes the most sense for you
00:10OK, so first off, what's an SSD?
00:13SSD means solid state drive
00:16it's the most common kind of storage drive in PCs today
00:20especially laptops
00:21and alternatively, HDD or hard disk drive
00:24is what likely came in previous PCs you've owned
00:27and is still sometimes used as a backup drive
00:30it stores data on spinning disks
00:33because an SSD doesn't have moving parts
00:36it's more durable and reliable
00:38and also smaller than a typical HDD
00:41this makes it quieter
00:42it allows for laptops to be super thin and lightweight
00:45they also draw less power
00:47which saves you a bunch of battery life
00:49which is nice
00:52another thing you want to think about
00:53is how much storage space you might need
00:56for example, 128GB is sufficient
01:00if you primarily use your PC for web browsing
01:03or light schoolwork
01:05however, for an average user
01:06256GB is a good starting point
01:10if you work with 4K video, graphics
01:13or you use large files
01:15you probably want more space and a fast SSD
01:19SSDs are more expensive for large amounts of storage
01:23while HDDs are cheaper
01:26then again, if you save your files to the cloud
01:28and you don't download games
01:30or have a bunch of applications installed
01:32you know, you're not using a ton of local storage
01:34right on your PC
01:35then you might not necessarily need a large storage drive
01:39it's up to you
01:41I hope that helps!
