Build a computer: Storage (HDD/SSD/NVME SSD)

General information

 The storage (HDD / SSD / NVME SSD) is to store thing without electricity because the RAM hasn't store thing without electricity.

There are 3 typical mass-storages types:

1. The HDD (Hard Disc Drive)
2. the SSD (Solid State Drive)
3. NVMe SSD (Non-Volatile Memory Express Solid State Drive)

The main difference between the 3 are is the speed. An HDD is the slowest of the three and will usually read and save Data at about 100 MBytes/s. An SDD will already read and write at around 500MBytes/s. An NVMe SSD currently reads and writes sequential Data with up to 10000 MBytes/s.

Both HDDs and SSDs are plugged into a SATA connector on your motherboard via a SATA Cable. They also need Power that they get through a SATA Power Cable from the PSU   (Power Supply Unit).

The NVMe SSD, though, is plugged into the motherboard directly, it is about as small as a stick of chewing gum and is no needs cable. Your Motherboard, of course, has to support NVMe SSDs and have an M.2 slot available. But almost all modern Motherboards nowadays have at least one of these. Highly recommended!
