Favorite Chicken Potpie

  My favorite chicken potpie isn't one you'll find in a recipe book . It's a symphony of flavors and textures, a melody of memories woven into every flaky bite. It's the potpie my grandma used to make, a dish that carried the warmth of her kitchen and the love she poured into every ingredient. Visually, it wasn't much to look at. A humble casserole dish cradling a golden brown puff pastry crust flecked with the occasional char from the oven's kiss. But beneath that unassuming exterior lay a hidden world of culinary wonder. First, the aroma. Oh, the aroma! It would waft through the house, a siren song leading me to the kitchen, where Grandma would be stirring a bubbling pot with a wooden spoon, a mischievous glint in her eyes. The steam carried whispers of buttery chicken , earthy mushrooms, and the sweet perfume of fresh herbs. It was an olfactory promise of comfort and joy, a prelude to a feast for the senses. Then, the texture. Grandma didn't belie...

The SSD disk (Solid State Disk)

Did you know that the traditional hard drive celebrates more than 62 years? Yes, 62 years of existence! And if the first hard drive launched by IBM in 1956 offered a capacity of 5 MB for a weight of more than a ton,  the modern hard drive is, in most cases, as bulky as a chocolate bar (and smaller size, if it is laptops), and with a capacity well above 6 TB, while there is already talk of doubling this capacity at the same price and in the same size.

And although the hard disk continues to evolve thanks to various technological advances that face and  improve the physical limitations imposed by the mechanical part of these devices  (currently people think, especially, in a perpendicular recording or with laser technologies), there is another type of technology which is beginning to replace them and to reveal itself as safe and stable:  SSDs.

Traditional hard drive or SSD drive? Advantages and disadvantages

Acronyms SSD correspond to "Solid State Drive" which in Spanish means "Solid State Drive" , comprising a unit exclusively for memory chips, is a storage unit that uses nonvolatile memory, similarly to the flash drive. So mechanical parts are eliminated, reliability issues are eliminated, and file read / write performance improvements are added, in theory at least.

 

The benefits reported by this type of SSD storage units are multiple, mainly due to the characteristic of not having mechanical parts, since this allows it to have the same capacity in less space, less current consumption and of course less wear. They do not have motors or gears of any kind.

Especially in the case of laptops, the advantages of an SSD are many , as we will see later. That is why from this point on we will analyze and take stock of this technology to identify its strengths but also its potential weaknesses, which often tend to be forgotten by the user who enters new technologies.

 

To do this, we are going to first compare SSD drives with traditional mechanical hard drives.
