    this was amazing. He directly addressed the issue of calling it memory and how confusing it is.

    Best explanation I've ever heard. I've tried to have this explained before and still didn't get it until your explanation

    Your video is one of the best I have seen about storage versus memory. I am a retired teacher, and I know that the more senses a person engages, the better the lesson. Comparing computers to woodworking was brilliant!

    Thank you for the analogy. What I know about computers fits just outside of a thimble, but I need to work on computers with clients who have sustained brain injuries. This helps us both to understand it better so we can move onto the next thing ....we don't understand. Lol, seriously appreciated and I will save this video to demonstrate since visuals like you provided are so helpful in our situation. 🙂

    Thanks man! I'm a little out of the loop between storage and memory, and how we went from hard drives to SSD, but your explenation simplified it to where I feel confident in how I should chose a new laptop.
    Now, can anyone tell me how much storage is good? My current has 237 gb and most of what I see online searching has been around 512 or higher. Heard 1 TB is best if you can get it.

    I need a new laptop 💻 to play the Sim with lots of storage .

    • @nerdyneighbor
      @nerdyneighbor  Před 10 měsíci +1

      Ooo! I don't play the Sims personally, but I know people who do. If you play with lots of mods, you'll want lots of RAM and lots of storage. At least 1TB of storage, and I would say at minimum 16GB of RAM. Probably more, if you can afford it.

    ahh so I only really need to upgrade my ram! No need for the ssd since i have about 1tb hard drive? This is for work btw , the computer scan said i didnt have enough ram! Thanks

    • @nerdyneighbor
      @nerdyneighbor  Před 9 měsíci

      Ah, well, it depends! Sorry I didn't get to this sooner. If you're running Windows 10 or 11 and the computer is feeling slow, two things could be the issue. It could be your RAM (if you only have 4gb, you'll want 8 or 16 instead), or it could be the hard drive. Old hard drives (HDD or "mechanical" drives) are SUPER slow. Upgrading to an SSD would make a massive difference. So I would just make sure you check both the drive and the RAM.

  • @TheGoldenDogOfficial
    @TheGoldenDogOfficial Před 10 měsíci

    When the RAM is cleared without saving its wiped out and if saved then it’s sent to the Hard Drive/SSD?

    • @nerdyneighbor
      @nerdyneighbor  Před 10 měsíci

      Theoretically, yeah. However, most apps have an "auto-save" feature in which changes are written to the SSD so frequently, that it's not nearly as common to lose data that way as it used to be.
