There are two primary types of Hard Drives – the computer’s mass storage device. One is a Hard Disk Drive (HDD) and the other is a Solid State Drive (SSD). The primary difference between the two is that the HDD has a higher capacity, while the SSD has the faster performance.
An HDD uses a spinning disk to access and store memory. The speed of this disk is listed in RPMs which means that the higher the RPMs, the faster the drive. The basic HDD starts at 5400 RPM and some drives go to 10,000 or even 15,000 RPM. There will be some increase in noise with the faster drive, but many manufacturers attempt to make the faster drives as quiet as possible. The size of HDDs can be found from 160GB to the very spacious drives of 2TB.
An SSD has no moving parts. It uses flash memory and is more like a data stick or memory card. These qualities give it a faster access speed and make it more fall resistant. Additionally it will be both cooler and quieter than an HDD. The capacities of SSDs remain low unless you are willing to spend more money, though the price of SSDs has steadily decreased as demand has increased. The SSD shines particularly in boot time and starting applications. The access speed of the SSD shaves time from the boot up process and can start applications almost instantaneously. This has led people to use SSDs as their Operating System drive, while keeping an HDD for storage of media files.
Thus, choosing between an HDD and an SSD depends upon the needs of the computer system being built or upgraded. HDDs continually outperform when it comes to size and price, but SSDs are faster, quieter, and cooler, even if more expensive.
