  • Summary

  • Today we are talking all about STORAGE! Well - at least some of it - we are talking about HDDs. Hard Disk Drive storage. We also talk a little bit about the hierarchy of storage and volatile and non-volatile storage!


    Make sure to check our previous part of this episode about CPUs and GPUs if you missed that because we will be putting all this together at the end in an ultimate comparison of Mac v/s Windows =)


    Here's the hierarchy I mentioned in the podcast:

    Stage A - Cache Storage [THE FASTEST - TINIEST STORAGE]

    Stage B - Cache Storage [VERY VERY FAST - TINY STORAGE]

    Stage C - Cache Storage [ VERY FAST - SMALL STORAGE]

    Stage D - RAM [FAST - BIGGER STORAGE]

    Stage E - HDD/SSD [ STILL FAST, BUT NOT AS MUCH - TONS OF STORAGE]

    All of these are very fast to the point that you may not notice if a data packet is stored in Stage A, or D, but they are still faster than the previous one! (It's a matter of miliseconds and seconds)
