How to Upgrade Your Workstation With High-Capacity RAID Data Storage

When it comes to speeding up your older workstation, replacing the existing hard disks with solid state drives is probably the first step you should consider.Your workstation depends on its mass storage devices for more than just storing data and programs. Those swap files I mentioned in my previous column about workstation memory can have a significant impact on the overall performance of your workstation. That factor coupled with the time it takes to load data, means that an upgrade here is the most significant thing you can do to boost performance.The HP Z620 professional workstation in this series has room for four internal hard disks. Other workstations from HP and other makers may have more or fewer. The reason for the multiple hard disks is so that they can be configured as RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) devices.
