HDDs VS SSDs


*Advantages*

🔵 Hard disks tend to have *higher storage* capacities than SSDs

🔵 Hard disk drives still *cost less* per gigabyte than SSDs

🔵 HDDs *last longer* than SSDs  the NAND flash used in SSDs can only be used for a finite number of writes

🔵 The choice and availability of SSDs is still limited


*Disadvantages*

🔴Hard Disk Drives are *more susceptible to shock and damage* as they consist of various moving parts

🔴SSDs have *faster data* transfer rate

🔴SSDs have *quicker boot ups*

🔴 can have almost *instantaneous data access*

🔴HDDs data access speed is dependent on how close the data is to the
read/write heads

🔴while all parts of the SSD can be accessed at once

🔴SSDs use significantly *less power* at peak load than hard drives

🔴SSD's energy efficiency can deliver *longer battery life* in laptops

🔴With no moving parts SSDs run at near *silent
