Hard Disk Drive and Solid State Drive for your computer
Friday, June 7, 2013 7:24:00 AM
The Hard Disk Drive (HDD) This is the most typical storage device utilized for storing large files and operating systems. These days they can store as much as 4 Terabytes (TB). Generally, it spins at 7200 revolutions per minute (RPM). RPM by the way, determines to some extent how quick a hard disk can check out and write a file. For its cost, 250 GB of drive space could range from $60 to $70 while 500 GB of space could go from $75 to $85. Their costs are not at all that far apart, so it is almost always worth it to add a few bucks for several hundreds more gigabytes of space.
The Solid State Drive (SDD) The least used storage device thus far due to its cost and minimal storage space. But don't belittle this drive, the cost comes with a great reason and I guarantee you, its a good one. An SSD has no moving part so there's no "RPM" spec. Instead it reads from flash memory modules and applications start in an instant. Your operating system also needs a lot less time to load as opposed to a normal HDD. The solid state drive also is smaller than an HDD and more durable. Unlike HDDs, SDDs use NAND-based flash memory which retains data without power. Besides the cost, the only problem with these drives is their minimal storage space compared to mechanical drives
VERSUS
The rapid technological development of computer technology has brought various changes to the method we use our computer. Aside from introducing new computer application software, these changes are apparent to our data and filing system tools. Most of these changes either welcome a new gadget or replace an old computer gadget to improve the efficiency, precision and speed of computer applications.
Because data storage devices are getting smaller, thinner and more compact and practical to carry, old and bulky discs will eventually be phased out. They are expected to be replaced by more trustworthy, better, smaller and external file storage devices called Solid State Drives (SSD). Manufacturers agree that SSD will be the future of the computer storage devices. With their better and energy-efficient features, no one can resist the improvements that it delivers on the traditional filing and data storage system of the computer hard disk.
Compared to the traditional hard disk drives, SSD is better in terms of power consumption and speed. Because SSD was produced after the hard disk drive, it carries more advanced technologies. Its data saving capabilities are rather more sophisticated to that of a hard disk drive. Power saving features has continuously been a part of the modification and improvements done on existing computer gadgets, elements and parts. Understandably, the more sophisticated SSD are more power-efficient when compared to the older hard disk drives. Another SSD advantage is the design and material utilized in its general construction. Because of its sturdy construction, it is virtually resistant to the harmful results of falls or shock. Another advantage of SSD over hard disc drives is the size and weight, as you put an SSD and a hard disk drive of precise data storage capacities side by side, the difference will be obvious. Traditional hard disk drives are bulkier and heavier when compared to the light and compact construction of an SSD. Just imagine just how much more data an SSD of a hard disk drives size store.
Manufacturers say that SSD secures files and data better against commonly destructive environmental elements. In case of accidents such as falls or even fire, the files saved on SSD are more likely to be recovered than those saved on a conventional hard disk. This is because SSD lacks the moving parts that are usually found inside a hard disk drive. When performance comparisons where done on various models of laptops, SSDs took the lead in performance scores and evaluations. The traditional hard disk drives stay competitive in achieving marginal difference in the scores achieved by SSDs.
Flash-based storage devices are nothing new to computers these days. Beyond their practical multi-functional features, these devices have progressed into a welcome accessory. Undeniably, SSD presents more practical, trustworthy and general better storage and filing system security options to computer users. These devices are said to eventually replace the traditional hard drives of the computer. Nevertheless, due to its high-cost, time will only tell for that to happen. But just like other computer devices, it only takes time for these fantastic innovations to become low-cost enough for the general public's use.
