HDD vs SDD

HDD vs SDD

The standard hard drive (HDD) has been the predominant storage device for computers, both desktops and laptops, for a long time.Because of it’s storage size and low cost. Computer manufacturers can include large hard drives at a small cost, so they've continued to use HDDs in their computers.

The solid state drive (SSD) is available and can replace an HDD relatively easily. But because of the price, it still doesn't make sense to use SSDs for all uses. For most computer users, we suggest using SSD as the primary drive for your operating system and most important programs. We then recommend using one or more HDD inside the same computer, or an external HDD, to store documents, pictures and music, which don't need the fast access times of SSD.

ADVANTAGES OF HARD DISK DRIVES

1. More affordable than SSD.

2. Higher storage capacity than SSD.

ADVANTAGES OF SOLID STATE DRIVES

1. HDD is slower than SSD.

2. Low power consumption.

3. Produces no noise in operation.

4. HDD is Not durable compared to SDD.

5. HDD has Bulkier form factor.
