Bigger storage space reduces PC’s chances to hang?
themediaslut was informed by a technical guy from hardware shop that a very senior official made this statement about how a bigger storage space can reduce the chances of your PC hanging and felt rather uneasy with the statment.
From the very very senior officer:
Singaporeans, if I can chose an analogy, we are the hard disk of a computer, the foreign talent are the megabytes you add to your storage capacity. So your computer never hangs because you got enormous storage capacity.
The technical guy highlighted that the computer is still prone to hanging if you using a very slow processor or a very bad operating system.
"I think it has more to do with how you manage the boot drive," said the technical guy.
"I mean, if it’s badly fragged, then it will be slow.
"What if the PC doesn’t have a up-to-date anti-virus program and the additional storage space introduces a virus?"
Another technical guy also highlighted that megabytes nowadays cost more than than gigabytes.
"You know a thumbdrive of megabytes capacity now costs more than gigabytes," said the other technical guy.
"Nobody wants a 512MB thumbdrive, everybody wants 1GB or more and the price of GB are going down day by day."
More computer experts are giving themediaslut some comments about increasing the PC’s capacity.
"Well u can extend it," said another computer expert.
"If u have too much capacity, u end up not using all of it.
"u need more effort to maintain and it consumes more resources on the same small computer."
