Detailed explanation-1: -A hard disk drive or HDD is cheaper and offers more storage (500 GB to 1 TB are common) while SSD disks are more expensive and generally available in 64 GB to 256 GB configurations. SSDs have several advantages over HDD drives.
Detailed explanation-2: -If you are concerned about how much information you can store on each type of drive, don’t worry. There are no differences in storage capacity. You can get HDDs and SSDs in similar sizes, from as small as 128 GB up to 20 TB or more.
Detailed explanation-3: -An SSD, or solid-state drive, is a type of storage device used in computers. This non-volatile storage media stores persistent data on solid-state flash memory. SSDs replace traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) in computers and perform the same basic functions as a hard drive.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hard Drive Capacity. The amount of storage on a hard disk is measured in gigabytes and terabytes. Hard drive capacity is measured by the amount of data users need to store, which is often much greater than the space applications take up. For example, a single video can take up four gigabytes of space.
Detailed explanation-5: -A solid-state drive (SSD) is a semiconductor-based storage device, which typically uses NAND flash memory to save persistent data. Each NAND flash memory chip consists of an array of blocks, also known as a grid, and within each block, there is an array of memory cells, known as pages or sectors.
