    Need help upgrading RAM

    Hi, my HP laptop has 8 GB RAM. Planning to upgrade to 16 GB. Would be buying from Flipkart (or Amazon). Not sure which one to buy. From the YouTube videos, my Pavilion Gaming Laptop has 2 slots for RAM, I guess one of them is empty now. Talked to HP Support, and they said to buy DDR4-3200...

    Android Making an Old Samsung Galaxy Tab Faster

    I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab. It's been around for a couple of years now. I do not maintain it much and possibly why it is very sluggish. The touch response is pathetic. Feels very slow and old. I am looking for ways to refresh it. Does using the Ccleaner app have any effect? Xiaomi has some...

    Storage Solutions Using a portable SSD as a regular drive

    I have that small, cute one from SanDisk , 1 TB. But the transfer speed is mostly 54 - 60 MBPs when I tried last week. It starts with 150 + MBps and then comes down to this range in a few minutes. The transfer is over by that time though.

    Storage Solutions Using a portable SSD as a regular drive

    No games, simply Firefox, Bing, Edge etc. To be honest I do not know whether I have a 3.0 or 3.2 port. My laptop is 2 years old. I am using the cable that came with the SSD.

    Storage Solutions Using a portable SSD as a regular drive

    Thanks. I was worried about the fact that it is working through USB 3.0. Maybe not fast enough and all that.

    Storage Solutions Using a portable SSD as a regular drive

    Is it going to be harmful if we use a portable SSD as a regular drive? For example, add a .vdi file to it related to VirtualBox and run Windows 11 from it. Not all the time, occasionally? Or is it better to use it only to store files and backups?

    Storage Solutions 500 GB HDD, which to buy

    I am ok with buying a 1 TB Seagate or WD HDD. I was not sure whether it will work as a replacement for my current 500GB HDD ( working ). It was built in 2014 and in those days people used to talk about the maximum capacity of a HDD per motherboard. Any sales offer I can wait for in the near...

    Storage Solutions 500 GB HDD, which to buy

    Hi, I tried buying one from Seagate through Flipkart. Luckily I noticed that the seller got very bad reviews, sending used, scratched products. I am not able to find many good 500GB options on Flipkart. It is for my old PC which has OpenMediaVault. Is Consistent a good brand? It gets listed...

    Storage Solutions Help me identify my laptop's SSD

    Hi, I have an HP Pavilion laptop. It has only 500 GB of inbuilt storage. I thought of adding another 500 GB and contacted HP support. They said, "Buy any M2 SSD ". I almost bought one but realised that there are green and blue ones and they are different. I think there is PCIe or Nvme. Not sure...
