08 Storage What you will need

SSD

The storage devices we are going to talk about in this section are Solid State Drives (SSD) and Hard Disk Drives (HDD). These storage devices can be used at the same time in your computer if you so choose, and they are also easily interchangeable if you needed to upgrade to more space. The storage device is also a very important part since it stores all your data, programs, operating system, and so much more. The two types of storage devices are primary and secondary.
