How much memory do I need for my hard drive?

SpecTek Select - Welcome
Do not confuse your hard drive with memory. Your hard drive is like a filing cabinet. It's a place to store a lot of information for a long time. Your RAM (memory) is kind of like the top of your desk. This is where your system stores the information you're currently working on. RAM is about 100 times faster than a hard drive. However, your hard drive can store information after the power is turned off, whereas RAM cannot. Your system needs both memory and a hard drive to operate properly.
