SSD VS HDD: What is the Difference
Can you remember when a hard drive was just a hard drive. You had to figure out what size you wanted and that was the end of it. Not anymore.
Now you have to chose between the new Solid State Drives and the normal Hard Disk Drives.
Hard disk drives (HDD) are made primarily of a magnetic platter. A mechanical arm moves across the platter as it spins to read/write 1’s and 0’s to platter. The process of reading and writing the data is very mechanical on the HDD.
Solid State Drives (SSD) have no mechanical or moving parts and the data is stored on microchips. This makes the SSD drives more efficient at reading and writing data to and from the drive. Hard drive failures are reduced greatly by switching to SSD drives.
The SSD drive write and read speeds is much faster than those of the HDD drive. This will decrease the computer boot time and should improve the performance of the machine greatly.
