Sentences with phrase «slow mechanical drive»

This is an especially good idea if your laptop has a slow mechanical drive — not to get more space, but to upgrade it to a much faster (but smaller) solid - state drive.

The processor served up scores well below average, and the slow mechanical drive does nothing to prop up the Aspire Z3's numbers.

Not exact matches

This chemical weathering process is too slow to damp out shorter - term fluctuations, and there are some complexities — glaciation can enhance the mechanical erosion that provides surface area for chemical weathering (some of which may be realized after a time delay — ie when the subsequent warming occurs — dramatically snow in a Snowball Earth scenario, where the frigid conditions essentially shut down all chemical weathering, allowing CO2 to build up to the point where it thaws the equatorial region, at which point runaway albedo feedback drives the Earth into a carbonic acid sauna, which ends via rapid carbonate rock formation), while lower sea level may increase the oxidation of organic C in sediments but also provide more land surface for erosion... etc..

However, other mechanical systems that are monitored can also contribute to the problem If the car is slow to accelerate and seems to stumble when you drive, that's more indicative of a dirty mass air flow sensor or clogged fuel injectors.

The key difference is that the braking function is electronically controlled rather than a purely mechanical activation, allowing regenerative braking from the electric drive motor to slow the vehicle, rather than the hydraulic friction brakes under most circumstances.

Also, some of the energy used to overcome inertia and accelerate the vehicle — normally lost when the vehicle is slowed, to aerodynamic forces and rolling resistance as well to the mechanical brakes (as heat)-- may be recaptured as electrical energy if regenerative braking is available (see the discussion of hybrid electric drive trains).

As you can see here, the Inspiron's mechanical 1 TB hard drive is a lot slower than the G11DF's 256 GB SSD.

For one, all the storage options rely on an Intel Rapid Hybrid system that is a mishmash of a relatively fast SSD for the OS, and a slower, mechanical hard disk drive for mass storage.

Your cheap laptop of choice may have a large mechanical hard drive, which will be very slow compared to the solid - state drive you'd find in a decent laptop.

For example, let's say you want to upgrade your computer's hard drive — maybe you're upgrading from a slower mechanical hard drive to a speedy solid - state drive.

Eventho the new updates make shutdown button = minor sleep function to allow faster boot, MECHANICAL DRIVES STARTUP STILL TOO SLOW.

Mechanical hard drives will be slower than SSDs, which is why they're being phased out.

Mechanical drives may be slow, but they offer a very large storage capacity at a very low price per gigabyte.

A lot of people store their virtual machines on a secondary mechanical drive, since they're more spacious, but your virtual machines will run much slower.

If you're not using a USB 3.0 port, or you're transferring files from a mechanical hard drive, those types of items can slow the drive down.

The mechanical drive was much slower, producing a read speed of only 111.8 MB / s, but that's good for a drive of its size.

However, the mechanical drive in our review unit was substantially slower than other hard drives we've tested.

Thankfully, times have changed, and in 2018, the best SSDs, or solid state drives, are fast enough to free you from the slow crawl of mechanical drives with lightning - fast boot times and file transfers.
