The Difference Between HDD and SSD: All You Need To Know

Hard Disk Drive(HDD) and Solid State Drive (SSD) are two different types of data storage devices that are commonly associated with computers. Perhaps you are shopping for a laptop and you want to get the best specifications that will make your computer perform at optimal functionalities, then the type of storage device is a key factor to consider.

For the longest time computers have relied on Hard Disk Drive disks until recently when Solid State Disks were introduced in the market. Wondering which one to go for, well unless you understand the difference between the two it will be hard to distinguish between the two in terms of performance.

A hard disk drive (HDD) is an old-school storage device that uses mechanical platters and a moving read/write head to access data.

A solid-state drive (SSD) is a newer, faster type of device that stores data on instantly-accessible memory chips.

Speed

SSD is flash storage and has no moving parts. They are much easier to mount than HDD. They are smaller and therefore take up less space.

HDD on the other hand is made up of magnetic tape and has mechanical parts inside, HDD is larger in size and takes much time to read and write than SSD.

SSD takes less time to read and load and therefore most preferred devise to use for your operating system. With SSD booting speed is drastically reduced and if your PC has been taking ages to boot, then that will drastically reduce with SSD. Copying and loading of files is also done in much lesser time with SSD than it would take while using HDD.

Storage

If you are building your PC for storage then HDD will be the best option for you. Although SSD is much efficient its space allowance compared to the cost of buying one is limited. SSDs are somehow expensive though their prices have drastically reduced over time.

Life Span

You want a storage device that will last, and  not break down unexpectedly, however every devise wears off over time and needs to be replaced. For the users of Hard Disk Drive, the good news is that they tent to last a little bit longer than Solid state Disk. However that does not imply that SSD are fragile or does not last.

Conclusion

Now that you know the difference. Make your purchase with an informed mind.
