Arbeitsspeicher und SSD: So wählen Sie einen Upgrade-Plan aus?

During the daily sales process, OAI has encountered some customers who want to improve the performance and speed of their Windows mini workstation computers by upgrading the RAM or SSD. Aber, before deciding to upgrade the memory or SSD, it's essential to understand their functions, characteristics, and the precautions involved in the upgrade process.

WIDDER: It is a temporary storage inside a Windows mini workstation computer, similar to the running memory of a mobile phone. It stores data at a very fast speed but is cleared when the Windows mini workstation computer is powered off or restarted.

SSD: An SSD is a permanent storage device used for storing files, Videos, Bilder, etc. It's like an upgraded version of a traditional hard disk, with larger storage capacity and faster speed. Data stored on an SSD is permanent and will not be lost even after restarting the Windows mini workstation computer.

When choosing to upgrade, it is necessary to decide based on the specific model and usage scenario of the Windows mini workstation computer.

If you need to run large programs, such as professional photo editing software (like Adobe Photoshop), which require significant computational resources, it is recommended to upgrade the memory.

If you need to store a large amount of files and video data, such as processing numerous files, photos, video materials, game downloads, or other situations with high data exchange, you should choose to upgrade the SSD.

When upgrading the hardware, pay attention to the following considerations:

Before upgrading the memory, we need to confirm whether the RAM of our Windows mini workstation computer supports upgrades. Some Windows mini workstation computers have RAM soldered onto the motherboard, making it non-upgradable. If it can be upgraded, we need to understand the specifications of the memory, such as the memory generation, frequency, single capacity, and compatibility with the same or different brands.

For SSD upgrades, pay attention to factors such as interface (NGFF, SATA, mSATA), protocol (PCI-E protocol, SATA protocol), and interface speed (SATA3 or higher, or NGFF SSDs that support NVMe for faster performance).

OAI recommends choosing the appropriate upgrade plan based on your personal needs and usage scenarios. Avoid upgrading blindly. Ensure the compatibility of the hardware to avoid wasting money. If you are unsure whether your Windows mini workstation computer supports upgrades, please consult the OAI team.
