Today Alex introduced a Chrome extension that is used for Malware and unwanted ads when web browsing called Ublock Origin. This is useful tool since it works in the background filtering the sites one visits. Occasionally I fall victim to false download links whenever I am looking for free diagnostic tools and this can help.
Our lab assignment for today was trying out tools called CrystalDiskInfo and CrystalDiskMark. One is a Self Monitoring and Reporting Tool (SMART) and the other one is used for bench marking. We went used them on different computers and laptops with different hard disks and compared their disk performance. Their is a remarkable difference between a standard hard disk and a solid state drive (SSD). The same can be said when comparing USB 2.0 and USB 3.0.
