Some say bigger is always better. Others believe size should be influenced by how the product will be used. So, who\u2019s right?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, there\u2019s no universal answer. From supersized fast food to pickup trucks with six doors, marketers have trained consumers to focus mostly on size\u2014even when it comes to <\/span><b>hard drive sizes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what does this mean for your next tech purchase? What is a <\/span><b>normal hard drive size<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and what should your <\/span><b>laptop hard drive size<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> be? There\u2019s a wide <\/span><b>hard disk storage capacity range<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and deciding what you need can be a challenge. But when you consider the right factors, you can easily determine what <\/span><b>drive size <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you need for your devices.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>The role of hard drive sizes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You probably know that a hard drive is where the device stores your precious photos, videos and document files. Since a hard drive is simply your computer\u2019s memory, hard drive capacity has little to do with performance and everything to do with how much content your device can hold. And this holds true unless the disk is nearly full. Any operating systems (OS), including Windows, requires a specific amount of available hard drive space to run properly.<\/p>\n<p>A PC that runs on Windows needs 10 to 15% of a hard drive\u2019s storage to function. For the sake of simplicity, we\u2019ll use the example of a 100GB drive. In this case, you would need to allow at least 10 to 15GB for the OS. If you don\u2019t have enough free space for the OS to access, you\u2019ll experience a significant decline in your computer\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re choosing hard drive sizes, look for a drive with a capacity well beyond what you need to store your data. Think about how much data you currently have and how much you anticipate adding over the life of your computer. Then add at least another 15% to ensure you\u2019ll have plenty of storage capacity for your OS.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The importance of speed<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Hard disk size <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is important, especially if you have a lot of information to store or plan to create a great deal of data in the near future. But speed is another important consideration.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speed in Hard Disk Drives (HDD)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HDDs are powered by motors. Regardless of <\/span><b>HDD size<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the faster the motor spins, the more quickly information is read and written to the disk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We determine the speed of HDD motors in revolutions per minute (RPM), which is a measure of rotational power. Desktops usually top out at 15,000 RPM. In contrast, laptop HDDs are slower at around 7,200 to 5,400 RPM. As with all decisions on a new computer, the speed of the hard drive should ultimately depend on how you\u2019ll be using it. Of course, no one ever regrets investing in speed! So you\u2019ll probably want to buy the fastest motor available for your desktop or laptop\u2019s hard drive\u2014especially if your computer will be used for gaming or storing multimedia files.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speed in Solid State Drives (SSD)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Most hard drives in today\u2019s consumer electronics use solid state technology are SSDs. They have no moving parts, not even a motor. That means no RPMs. SSD speed is measured by how quickly the drive can read or write digital data, specifically in MBs per second (MB\/s).<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just as RPMs are independent of <\/span><b>drive size <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in an HDD, so too are MB\/s and <\/span><b>hard drive capacity<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in an SSD. You can purchase minimal space with maximum speed, large capacity with low performance or anything in between. Your choice will be all about how much space you need and how you plan to use the drive.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Computer hard disk size<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve already talked briefly about the storage capabilities of HDDs within desktops and laptops. But the device you plan to use with your hard drive is actually another important consideration. Before deciding on <\/span><b>hard disk size<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014or any other aspect of your disk\u2014think through how the device will be used.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you need a desktop just for casual use? Or are you a gamer that requires far more capability than creating documents and spreadsheets? Do you need a laptop just to work or study remotely? Maybe your business is of a sensitive nature that precludes uploading data to a cloud.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>But for most purposes, what is a good hard disk size? It depends if you\u2019re getting a laptop or desktop machine<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Desktop hard drive size<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Desktops usually have larger hard drives, because they can physically fit a larger disk. They\u2019re also more likely to be shared with other people and so need enough storage capacity to fit data from several users at the same time. Standard hard drives for desktops run from 500GB (or smaller!) to as large as several a terabytes (TB) in size (or larger!). But given the accessibility of cloud storage, the everyday user doesn\u2019t usually need a large capacity hard drive.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laptop Hard Drive Size<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most laptops have less storage than desktops because they\u2019re physically smaller. The space constraints limit the hard drive capacity. Those same space constraints increase the overall cost of the computer because smaller is much harder to engineer and manufacture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Figuring out the right hard <\/span><b>drive size<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can be a challenge, but take the time to consider how you want to use your device, you&#8217;ll know how much you&#8217;ll need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your last disk failed, you&#8217;re going to need a new hard drive! But you\u2019ll still need your old data. <\/span><a href=\"\/fr-ca\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Call DriveSavers to learn how we can help you recover lost data.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-2\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Humanity has long been plagued with the question, does size matter?
