Detailed explanation-1: -Drawbacks. SSDs are newer technology, and as such, are more expensive than HDDs. Although they are catching up, it can be harder to find large-capacity solid state drives. HDDs can be as much as 2.5 times larger.
Detailed explanation-2: -Price: The biggest disadvantage of a solid state drive is the cost. SSD costs more than a conventional hard disk drive. Recovery of Lost Data: The inability to recover old data is one of the biggest disadvantages of a SSD. Data is permanently and completely deleted from the drives.
Detailed explanation-3: -How Expensive Is SSD vs. HDD? SSDs are more expensive than hard drives in terms of dollar per gigabyte. A 1TB internal 2.5-inch hard drive costs between $40 and $60, but as of this writing, the very cheapest SSDs of the same capacity and form factor start at around $80.
Detailed explanation-4: -SSDs are a relatively new and fast type of memory that have higher data transfer speed and better security than hard disks. But these memories have some disadvantages, such as high prices and slowing down over time.
Detailed explanation-5: -SSDs use NAND flash chips, and those used in computers typically use higher quality chips, which are more expensive than those used in USB flash drives and SD cards. The assembly of SSDs is also more complex; for example, the drive’s controller and firmware must be carefully integrated.
