Before buying a RAM and HDD for a gaming laptop, you should know the basic knowledge about how to choose a good RAM and HDD for your gaming laptop. Nowadays, the technology has became more sophisticated, where you need migrate your RAM from an outdated DDR to the latest DDR technology. Now you could get up to DRR4 RAM. As a human nature that is never be satisfied the rapid growth of technology would also be developed over time.
Let's take a look a glimpse about how the development of RAM and HDD been changed over time. Below are the list of types of RAM those ever marketed.
1. DRAM (Dynamic RAM)
2. FPM DRAM (Fast Page Mode DRAM)
3. EDO RAM (Extended Data Output Dynamic Random Access Memory)
4. SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory)
5. SDRAM PC66
6. SDRAM PC100
7. DR DRAM
8. PC800 RDRAM
9. SDRAM PC133
10. PC150 SDRAM
11. DDR SDRAM

The Use of RAM in Gaming
RAM is one of important elements in gaming. If you want to play high graphic definition games, the specifications of the PC or laptop should be sufficient. For example, if you want to play PES 2015 or FIFA 15, you must choose a sufficient VGA card VGA such as nvidia 2GB or at least 1GB, the game Keith could go the way we want, the user also must have enough RAM, for example 2gb up to 8gb , tersbut game was able to walk we wanted.
HDD For Gaming Laptop
Types of Hard Disk
1. ATA / EIDE Hard Disk
EIDE (Enhanced Integrated Drive Electronics) or type ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment) is the standard version of an hard disk interface that is suitable for bus connection. There are many manufacturers produce hard disk with EIDE / ATA interface that can be connected to PCI bus directly as most of PC or laptop used. One of the advantages of EIDE / ATA hard disk is it marketted with an affordable price. The disadvantage is it requires separate controller for each drive if two drives are used together to improve the PC performance. One of popular chip manufacturers produce controllers that allow EIDE / ATA disk to be connected to the motherboard directly.
2. SCSI Disk
Many disks have user interface that is designed to connect to a standard SCSI bus. These kind of disks tend to be more expensive, but work better. This type of HDD is more expensive maybe because it has more SCSI bus than PCI bus. The simultaneous access can be done to multiple drives because the drive interface is actively connected to the SCSI bus only when the drive is ready for data transfer. This is useful especially in applications where there are a large number of requests for small files, which often occurs in a computer that is used as a file server.
3. RAID Disk
RAID Disk Promises remarkable performance and provides a large and reliable storage. RAID disk is used both in high-performance computer or in a computer with a system that requires reliability dramatically higher than normal levels. However, by the decline of its price to a level that is more affordable, RAID disc becomes more interesting to be installed in an average level of computer system.
4. SATA Disk
SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) disk is a disk with ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment) interface and its serial version uses thin cable, which the total of its small cables are about two-thirds of the total of cables that own by EIDE or ATA disk which has 39 pins, and SATA has a very high data transmission speed and it can reduce the latency, that makes this serial bus can exceed the speed of parallel bus.
SATA transfer data sequentially via cable and it also technically arranges the disks that are connected to the motherboard without the system master or slave, so that the SATA cables can only be used on a single internal hard disk that is installed in the CPU. Besides that, as you might also know, you can find external hard drive (portable hard drive) on the market. You can plug it and move it from one to another PC or laptop. An external hard drive commonly has has 7300 rpm rotational speed, and it is easy to be connected to your PC or laptop by connecting the USB port. An external hard disk can transfer data at 480 Mbps.
5. SSD Hard Drive
As we know that the hard drive we use as a storage medium still has a mechanical part in it, while the SSD (Solid State Disk) hard drive is already using USB drive or computer memory technology. USB hard drive has no moving part indide it. Intel took a manufacturer from Taiwan named Kingston to market Intel SSD, so that the presence of these two names makes SSD market growing.
Other remarkable SSD hard disk brands are such as Sandisk, Samsung, Imation, Toshiba and Seagate. Indeed, the future of storage media will be more directed to SSD type of hard disk because it has many advantages over the current hard drive kind of storage media.
HDD usability is very important in gaming. By using SSD hard disk will boost your gaming performance, because the loading using is faster than SATA HDD.
Conclusion
To play graphical games choose DDR3 RAM with a minimum of 2-4GB of Memory Allocation capability. It is recommended to have 8GB of RAM capacity to run heavy games.
What is the benefit of SSD drive in gaming? Actually the most important things in gaming are the CPU processor and VGA processor. These two components have important role in gaming, but with SSD drive, it can support them to store data fast, so that the data processed is also fast.
