Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Benefits of Flash Storage vs. HDD. Flash storage drives consume up to 50% less power than similar capacity HDDs, and are capable of much faster read/write speeds. Average HDDs cap out at 120 MB/s, while many Flash drives are capable of read/write speeds in excess of 500 MB/s.
Detailed explanation-2: -flash memory, data-storage medium used with computers and other electronic devices. Unlike previous forms of data storage, flash memory is an EEPROM (electronically erasable programmable read-only memory) form of computer memory and thus does not require a power source to retain the data.
