Upgrading the Data Storage Drive (HDD or SSD)
The Sahara NetSlate’s data drive is the storage facility that holds
all the les on your computer. If you nd you are running out of
space, you might consider upgrading to a larger drive.
Typically, when a computer’s Hard Disk Drive (HDD) lls up, its
access time begins to increase and your system seems to slow
down. When this occurs, upgrading to a larger drive often will
equate to better performance.
While generally more expensive, Solid State Drives (SSD) use
non-volatile NAND Flash RAM to store data and are much faster
than even the speediest HDD. Additionally, SSDs do not contain
any moving parts and therefore are more durable and consume
less battery power. If you need to increase your system’s perfor-
mance, upgrading to an SSD is a worthwhile investment.
