E-waste is a real problem and when I replaced my computer I was hesitant to just throw it away. So I decided to upgrade it but it already had 8gb of ram and the processor was over 3 Ghz. These seem like pretty standard specs for most new computers but it still felt slow. The problem was it had a mechanical hard disk drive. Most new computers have an SSD and SATA SSD’s are fully compatible with the SATA connections used for the original slow mechanical drive. Now my old Craptop is a lot less crappy and and I can use it a little longer.
