I know saving files (i.e. pictures, videos, music, etc.) to the cloud is all the rage these days but sometimes you need, or just want, more local storage at home on your PC. Maybe you're wanting to speed up your computer by upgrading your old mechanical HDD (hard drive) to a snappy new SSD (Solid State Drive)? Or you want more storage space for your favorite games? In this video I go over the things you need to know to install, initialize and format the 3 most common storage drives on the market today. First you'll see how to install a M.2 NVME SSD (which is super easy by the way) then a 2.5 inch SATA SSD and finally a 3.5 inch SATA Hard Drive. After installing your new drive before it will even show up in Windows Explorer and allow you to save anything to it you'll need to initialize and format your new drive and I show you how to do that as well. Get ready to enjoy your new drive because you're going to have it up and running in no time. :)
