How to find the right storage system

Background information about the importance of RAM: When it comes to storage in computers, most people think of hard drives. This is so true, however, these are not the only storage elements. They are responsible for long-term storage so that you can retrieve the data after the computer is turned off. Random access memory (RAM) is short-term storage. It provides the intermediate component between the hard drive and processors. As such, RAM is enormously important. This is because its size and speed have a direct impact on the speed of your server/computer.

With us you get RAM memory for your individual needs, depending on the area of application you will find in the categories RAM or Server RAM. This way you can replace old or defective RAM units or simply upgrade.

To keep prices low, computers are often sold with less RAM than would be optimal. Therefore, you can often easily increase your working speed with an upgrade, because you then, for example no longer have to wait for programs to respond, you can easily use more applications at the same time your work with spreadsheet programs will not be delayed any further, you can also use graphic design programs or video editing programs without any delay.

In summary and simplified terms: because the more things you want to do on the computer at the same time, the more RAM you need.

The storage in RAM is binary. The storing element is a capacitor, which is either charged or discharged. It is accessed via a switching transistor and either read out or written with new content. This design explains why storage is only of a temporary nature. There are various designs of RAM memory modules, which differ in terms of speed, memory volume and also physically. Therefore, you should be able to answer the following two questions:

If you select the RAM upgrades category on our site, you will reach an assortment with corresponding choices for RAM upgrades. Here, you can pick the manufacturer of your choice and select the RAM component you need based on performance. Look for specific RAM models to ensure the performance of your system: If you only want to do a little surfing, write emails and maybe watch videos, then 8 - 16 GB of RAM can already be enough. If you also want to run graphics programs (like Photoshop), spreadsheets (like Excel) or generally multitask many programs, it should rather be 16 - 32 GB. For professional users, gamers and graphic designers, we recommend at least 32 GB.

Here it is important to avoid compatibility problems between motherboard and RAM, but also processor and RAM.

Of course, a big focus of our RAM modules is on variants for computers. Differences may exist for example in the field of laptops and desktop computers. Here, quite simply, other connection types and sizes occur, which cannot be transferred universally. However, with RAM for servers in the category server RAM at Memorysolution you have even more choices and can also upgrade servers or replace faulty and old modules. The selection here - as with computers - is made according to the Data Rate (DDR) classification, in this way you can quickly find the right model.

The selection of suitable hardware for computers and servers can be nerve-racking and exhausting, we are aware of that. That's why we try to help you as best as we can and offer you not only comprehensive advice but also a fast purchase process. At the same time we try to give you freedom by offering as many products as possible. With us as your trusted partner, you will find the components you need in no time at all.
