Difference between Hard Disk and SSD
Difference between HDD and SSD
Introduction
Hard disk drive (HDD)
A hard disk drive (HDD) is an old storage device that uses mechanical
platters and a moving read/write head to access data.
Solid-state drive (SSD)
A solid-state drive (SSD) is a modern faster type of device that has no
moving parts and it stores data on instantly-accessible memory chips.

Capacity differences between
HDDs and SSDs?
• In the event that you are worried about how much data
you can store on each kind of drive, be consoled.
There are no distinctions away limit.
• You can get HDDs and SSDs in comparative sizes.
Normally the range is 128 GB to 2 TB.

Price differences between HDDs
and SSDs
• The market for storage is unpredictable, and it fluctuates
dependent on organic market.
• While the cost for SSDs has diminished a great deal,
there is as yet a critical value contrast.

HDD or SSD-Better for gaming?
• Given the enormous measures of information a game needs to
rearrange to and fro.
• A SSD assists games with stacking and run quicker.
• Example: Loading the world of GTA V takes about 25 seconds on my
Samsung 970 Evo Plus with SSD, compared to more than two minutes
when using an old mechanical hard disk.

HDD or SSD – Which is Faster?
• SSDs are extremely fast in all areas, but the speed
difference is more pronounced when performing certain
tasks, such as:
• Sequential read/write operations
• Small “4K” read/write operations

Power Draw / Battery Life
• SSD (Solid State Drive) has Less power draw, averages
2 – 3 watts, resulting in 30+ minute battery boost.
• HDD (Hard Disk Drive) has More power draw, averages
6 – 7 watts and therefore uses more battery

Operating System Boot Time
• SSD (Solid State Drive) require around 10-13
seconds average boot up time.
• HDD (Hard Disk Drive) require around 30-40 seconds
average boot up time

Heat Produced
• SDD has lower power draw and no moving parts so little
heat is produced
• HDD doesn’t produce much heat, but it will have a
measurable amount more heat than an SSD due to
moving parts and higher power draw

Magnetism Affected?
• An SSD is safe from any effects of magnetism.
• Magnets can erase data from HDD.
