Solid-State Drives (SSDs) offer significantly faster speeds and lower latency compared to traditional Hard Disk Drives (HDDs). SSDs use flash memory, which provides much faster data access times.
SSDs are much faster for booting your computer, application loading, and overall system responsiveness. This is because they have no moving parts.
HDDs are generally much cheaper to purchase than SSDs. However, the cost difference isn't always significant for typical use.
SSDs usually offer greater storage capacity per unit of space. They're ideal for large files and operating system storage.
SSDs are more durable and resistant to shock and vibration than HDDs, making them suitable for laptops and mobile devices.
SSDs maintain significantly faster read and write speeds than HDDs over time, minimizing performance degradation.
SSD lifespan is comparable to HDD lifespan, though SSDs can last longer under sustained heavy usage, but are more susceptible to wear.
SSDs are ideal for your primary drive. HDDs are better for mass storage such as archiving and backups.
