SSD stands
for solid state drive. SSD don't have any moving part, & information stored
in microchips. This makes SSD more faster than HDD.
SSDs prduce highest possible Input/Output(80,000 IOPS) results.
SSD contains NAND based flash memory, & this memory is a non volatile type
memory. This means if you turn off the drive, it don't forget data stored on
it.
SSD has a
controller to perform operations related to reading & writing the data.
Controller is the main part to determine the overall speed of drive. SSD is
made up of either plastic or metal case & looks like a battery.
Benefits of SSD :
1 In SSD, there is less power draw.
2 Operating system boot time is around 22 sec.
3 In SSDs, there is no moving parts as such no noise or vibration.
4 In SSDs, no moving parts & low power
draw so little heat is produced.
5 File opening speed is up to 30% faster than
HDD.
6 This is safe from any effects of magnetism.
So we can
say that SSD is 300ed times better than HDD. There is no comparison between SSD
& HDD, it depends on indivisual needs, preferences & budget. But if you
consider performance & fast bootup primarly, then you have to go for SSD.
nice.
