Chapter 17 Upgrading the Hard Disk

Two days later, the sports day of Shenzhou University ended. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Su Rui won the first place in the four projects alone, which can be said to be unprecedented.

The first place winner in one competition can get a prize of 2,000 yuan, and the four events are 8,000 yuan.

In fact, when Su Rui stood on the podium, he received a prize of 20,000 yuan instead of 8,000 yuan.

It wasn't until this time that he knew that he could get an additional 3,000 yuan bonus to break the school's record.

In the four competitions, Su Rui not only won the first place, but also broke the school's final record, so that he could get additional bonuses.

20,000 yuan is also a lot of extra income for him.

However, the most satisfying harvest for Su Rui is the faith value, now his faith value has broken through to 220,000 points, and he can do a lot of things.

After the Games, his life returned to its usual rhythm again.

Now Su Rui spends most of his time running the life online store, and there are more and more product types on it, and he is also trying his best to increase the variety of products.

However, he does not add products casually, and the products on the shelves have several things in common, one is that the products with large profits and low profits are not considered by him, and the second is to have obvious price advantages, which must be guaranteed to be the lowest price in the whole network.

This time, there are not too many eligible products.

On this day, Su Rui was preparing a new product, and he was going to put a new product on the shelves.

In front of him are two hard disks, one is a mechanical hard disk and the other is a solid-state drive, the former has a capacity of 512G, while the latter has a capacity of 64G, a difference of eight times in size.

However, the price of a mechanical hard disk is only 300 yuan, and the 64G solid state drive costs nearly 400 yuan, which is even more expensive.

This year, mechanical hard disks are still the mainstream of installations, accounting for a large proportion, while solid-state drives are not high due to their price and capacity.

It's just that as the capacity of solid-state drives continues to increase, and the price is getting lower and lower, the market share is gradually increasing, and the share of mechanical hard disks is shrinking, and this trend is still very obvious.

Su Rui is now considering whether to sell SSDs or HDDs.

In order to analyze the benefits, he decided to do an experiment first and then make a decision based on the final results.

Su Rui first upgraded the mechanical hard disk, which is a very ordinary mechanical hard disk, and the brand is also common, which is not unusual.

"Upgrading requires 4 faith points, is it necessary to level up?"

For the upgrade function of the life modifier, Su Rui has begun to figure out the rules, the faith value consumed to upgrade the level of the item should be determined by the value and volume of the item.

For example, the higher the actual value of the item, the more faith points will be consumed, and the larger the volume, the greater the faith points consumed by upgrades, which is obtained by combining the two data, of course, there may be other aspects of the relationship, but he has not found it yet.

Then, Su Rui kept upgrading, increasing the capacity of the mechanical hard disk from 512G to 6TB, and consumed 20 faith points.

Before upgrading, he had already done market research, a 512G mechanical hard disk, the price is about 300 yuan, and the capacity of 6TB is about 2000 yuan, the price difference is more than 6 times.

Next, Su Rui upgraded the SSD.

"Upgrading requires 4 faith points, is it necessary to level up?"

The Faith required for the HDD and SSD upgrades is the same, and he made three upgrades, consuming 12 Faith points, and the capacity increased from 64G to 512G.

A 64G SSD is priced at 350 yuan to 450 yuan according to different brands, and the average is about 400 yuan, while a solid state drive with a capacity of 512G is priced at more than 2000 yuan, and most of the prices are 2500 yuan, with a price difference of 5 or 6 times.

In this way, the profit margin of mechanical hard disk and solid state drive is the same, but this is calculated according to the 6TB mechanical hard disk and 512G solid state drive, if it is calculated according to the same capacity, it must be the profit margin of the solid state drive is higher.

For example, the price of a solid-state drive with a capacity of 1000G is about 4000 yuan, which is much higher than that of a mechanical hard disk.

On top of that, HDDs have gone through 5 upgrades and consume 15 Faith Points, while SSDs have only undergone Level 3 upgrades and consume 9 Faith Points.

From the point of view of the consumption of faith points, SSDs are more cost-effective, and you can use a small amount of faith points to earn more money.

After thinking about it for a while, Su Rui still decided to sell SSDs in the life online store.

Subsequently, he began to order solid-state drives online, all of which were 64G, and directly ordered 100 units, costing 38,000 yuan, with a unit price of 380 yuan.

Of course, if Su Rui wants a cheaper SSD, it is not so good, there are several brands with a unit price of less than 300 yuan, but the quality is not so ideal, and the life span is shorter.

Therefore, he chose a brand with a good reputation, although the price is higher, but the quality is guaranteed, it is still worth the difference.

Originally, Su Rui wanted to order two or three hundred SSDs directly, but considering that the space in the dormitory was limited, and it was not his private space, it was better not to do so.

This is a collective dormitory, and there are four people in total, and in addition to him and Wang Dongxu, there are two other people who also live here.

Although the other two rarely go back to the dormitory to live, Su Rui is also embarrassed to occupy all the space in the dormitory and use it for stocking, so as not to cause others to be unavoidable.

He had already thought about going out to rent a house after a while, which would be more convenient and not worry about affecting others.

……

Now the logistics express efficiency is very high, and it only took one day for Su Rui to receive the goods.

Then, Su Rui upgraded all these solid-state drives to 512G, and then put them on sale in the online store, as for the price, it was only set at 1000 yuan, and the official price of this brand was about 2400 yuan, which was more than half cheaper.

This price, the lowest on the whole network, is no problem at all.

Therefore, Su Rui had just been put on the shelves, and some people immediately asked, and some people were worried that the price was wrong, so they made a special inquiry, and after confirming that the price was correct, they immediately placed an order, for fear that he would raise the price.

A computer, with or without an SSD, is a world of difference.

For example, Su Rui's old computer usually boots up in about 1 minute, but after installing the SSD, the boot speed has been maintained within 15 seconds.

It can be said that after installing the SSD, the performance of the computer immediately has a very intuitive change, giving consumers the best experience.

If it weren't for the high price of SSDs and the small capacity, their sales would have surpassed that of mechanical HDDs and occupied most of the HDD market.

And now, Su Rui has reduced the price of solid-state drives, which naturally makes many installers excited.

The credibility of the life online store is not low, it has long been drilled, and it has a group of loyal consumers, and many installers are staring at the life online store, waiting for new products to be put on the shelves, so as to seize the opportunity.

Since Su Rui put the SSD on the shelves for the first time, without verifying the authenticity, these people just bought too much at one time, and most of them bought a piece back, intending to inspect the goods first, if there is no problem, they will come back and buy a large number of them, which can be sold to make a lot of money.

After a while, the life online store has sold more than a dozen SSDs with addresses from different cities.

Then, Su Rui wrapped the orders he received several times, and after the address was corrected twice, he sent them to the courier company.
