SSD v.s HDD
A wave of revolution has been introduced into the world of technology with the advent of the SSD which is now rapidly replacing HDD (Hard disk drive). A SSD is a solid state drive also known as a solid state disk, which in simpler terms is a solid-state storage device that uses integrated circuit assemblies as memory to store data persistently. SSD technology primarily uses electronic interfaces compatible with traditional block input/output (I/O) hard disk drives (HDDs), which permit simple replacements in common applications.
Now the SSD trumps the HDD for several obvious reasons which are mainly the upgraded features in its design. Firstly, the HDD contains magnetic rotating platters whereas the SSD is solid NAND flash-based. Secondly, although the SSD is only slightly lesser in density as compared to the HDD, the difference in their weights is far more significant. Thirdly, the SSD shows much higher performance than HDD as it reads data at a speed of 100MB/s and writes at: 80 MB/s whereas the HDD reads at: 59 MB/s and writes at: 60 MB/s. Fourthly, the SDD consumes less power (1 W) contrary to HDD which requires 3.86 W, which is another benefit of using SSDs. Fifthly, the operating vibration of the HDD is much lesser (22-350 Hz) than that of SSDs (10-2000Hz) , however at the same time HDDs produce 0.3 dB of acoustic noise whereas SSDs produce absolutely none. The shock resistance of SSDs is higher and the operating temperature of SDDs is lower than that of HDDs. And lastly, the endurance of SSDs in more than 2M hours whereas the endurance of HDDs is nearly 0.7M hours. Thus, in summary, SSDs are not just a more improved version of HDDs, no, they are literally the next level storage devices.
