SSD

-

  We've arrived to a controversial topic now. Should we use a HHD or a SSD? Some people believe HHDs are more reliable, but let me tell you, they're not. Unless you're going to barely use this PC (or you're going to use it for nothing big) then a HHD would be an okay option. Even then, I would still recommend a SSD. In terms of gaming, video editing, running programs or speed in general, the SSD comes out on top. It's more durable, makes less noise, it's more resistant and also quicker. However, it is true that HHD offer an easier way to recover your files, in case they have been damaged, and the price difference it has compared to an SSD can be seen as big. If what you're worried about is file damaging, that could be easily fixed by making a copy of your files in an external hard drive. Which you don't have to buy immediately with the PC. 

For this PC, however, I have chosen to use an SSD. Since I see it as a better choice, together with a good external hard drive in case you want to save your files (like I said previously on this post, you don't need to buy it immediately). So, the Kingston NV2 1TB SSD PCle 4.0 NVMe Gen 4x4 is the SSD I have chosen, with 1TB that'll give you plenty of space to store anything you may need. However, I'll also link SSDs with smaller storage (and bigger storage, in case someone needs the space for something such as video editing, for example) in case someone doesn't want to spend their money on an SSD with a lot of storage that they will never use.

For further information about this topic, I'll link a very useful article in case someone still has their doubts.

-The 1TB SSD is 48,98€ with no discount being applied at the moment.

-For 500GB, the SSD I see best suited to be the Kingston NV2 500GB SSD PCIe 4.0 NVMe Gen 4x4. With the price being 36,99€.

-For 2TB, the Kingston NV2 2TB SSD PCIe 4.0 NVMe Gen 4x4 is the best option, being 98,99€.

-And for an external hard drive, the WD My Passport 1TB 2.5" USB 3.2 Black works wonders, with a price of 54,99€ with no discount.

For external hard drives that have less storage, all of WD's hard drives work great, and they have a wide selection too. If you don't like WD for whatever reason, samsung's external hard drives are surprisingly well made. However, they're a bit pricer because of the recent demand they have.

 Hey, hey, hey security maniacs! I know the internet is a very touchy subject, and so is the security we have while we are online. A lot of people don't like talking about it, and to be honest I don't blame them. However, since most people don't like getting very detailed about the way they surf the web. I will post a couple of posts in order to teach all of you some basic rules about digital security. You will find these posts below this one.  Also , I was planning on doing a quick voting session in order to see which tips you liked the most out of these posts (phishing links and password security). You can vote here ! All the answers will be published in this post for everyone to see, so everyone can see the feedback.

PC BUILD

Hello, hello! Under this post you will find a series of posts I made with a complete guide and explanation on how to build a PC. The budget for this PC would be around 900-1300€ (may vary depending on discounts, demand, shipment fees and alternative components). This guide will help you through the buying process of all the different PC parts, however, the building process may be hard to understand through text. To ensure a good installation, I'd wholeheartedly recommend TechSource's step by step guide, where he will guide you through the building process in great detail. For this build, most of our parts will come from a site called PC Components, however, a few of them will come from Amazon.  https://www.pccomponentes.com https://www.amazon.com If someone doesn't have the time, and/or doesn't want to look at the PC building guide without knowing the parts it has beforehand, you will find a message at the end of this post with a flip book I made showing all the data y

PASSWORD SECURITY

''I always use the same password for all my accounts and applications. I do not like to use complicated passwords because it is difficult to remember and too long. What do you think?....'' Bceuase of this, let's say, for example, you're in your home using your computer and all of a sudden a hacker gets a hold of your password for a certain website. Since it is only one website it should be okay right? WRONG. Most people use the same password for a wide number of websites. Therefore, in this post, I will be giving some tips in order to avoid this for those who don't like complicating your passwords. Or, for those who didn't know they were doing it and want to start preventing a future attack. 1-So, the first step to make our password more secure is, of course, to check the number of characters it has. For example, if we have a 6 letter password like ''Tomato'' then it would be advised to get a longer password of at least 8 characters or mo
