Western Digital’s guide for choosing the right tech tools for your content creation needs

Hyderabad India, May 8th, 2024: Recent studies indicate a significant increase in the number of content creators in India, growing from 80 million creators in 2022 to an anticipated 100 million by 2023. However, with the overwhelming volume of content flooding social media platforms today, it has become increasingly challenging to find a niche for oneself. Content creators need to create unique and fresh content constantly and, as a result, they often handle a huge volume of data as they embark on their creative journeys. The selection of the right tech tools plays a key role in supporting their endeavours and these tips and tricks will offer smarter ways to upgrade PC performance – a crucial facet of this.

To start with, SSDs (solid state drives) can access larger files quickly, resulting in quicker boot times and performance, whether you’re working,or streaming content. For video editors, time is precious when working with raw data and heavy editing software. Consider using a WD Blue™ SN580 NVMe™ SSD, known for its quick speed and up to generous 2TB* of storage capacity. With speeds reaching up to a staggering 4,150 MB/s**1TB and 2TB models only) and the incorporation of nCache™ 4.0 technology, fast file copies are a breeze, and you’ll experience seamless performance, even with data-intensive applications. This will enhance your creative workflows with improved application responsiveness and extended battery life for uninterrupted productivity.

Another option to consider is – External drives, offering additional storage capacity, which is essential for storing large files, backups, and multimedia content. One such option can be the SanDisk Professional® G-DRIVE® enterprise-class hard drive, which is available in up to 22TB* of massive storage – perfect for backing up and accessing more HD photos, videos, and other content.
