Detailed explanation-1: -Magnetic storage: Hard Disc Drive (HDD) Can be easily damaged, will slow down and eventually break over time. Slower access than Solid State Drives. The main storage device in most computer systems.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hard drives are prone to scratches because they have a moving read/write head, and this can make parts of files unreadable. It is significantly slower to access data stored on a hard drive than on a solid state disk because the hard drive has moving parts, such as the read/write head and the rotating platters.
Detailed explanation-3: -SSDs store data permanently inside an integrated circuit, typically using flash memory. The flash memory inside an SSD means data is written, transferred, and erased electronically and silently-SSDs don’t have the moving parts found inside mechanical hard-disk drives (HDDs).
