|
|
SSD is faster than HDD when transferring data
|
|
|
portable, higher capacity of storing data, very durable, faster performance
|
|
|
small capacity (most CDs < 1GB capacity) & although they are fairly reliable and durable but they can be easily damaged
|
|
|
because they are read only

Detailed explanation-1: -Ans. SSD stands for Solid State Drive with low latency and fast processing speed. On the other hand, HDD stands for Hard Disk Drive with high latency, and the processing speed is low in comparison to SSD.
Detailed explanation-2: -One of the biggest benefits of an SSD is how much faster they are than HDDs. For example, the Crucial P5 is our fastest NVMe SSD, delivering impressive read/write speeds up to 3400/3000MB/s. Even portable SSDs are faster than HDDs.
Detailed explanation-3: -As noted above, an SSD can deliver a read/write nearly 5x that of an HDD. An NVME drive is even faster with an effective write speed over 10x that of a hard disk drive. The order of speed goes HDD, SSD, then NVMe with the NVMe m. 2 drive being the best choice for speed.
Detailed explanation-4: -SSDs are integrated circuits with no moving parts. Rather than using magnetic media, most SSDs use NAND flash memory that enables superior read/write speeds and lower latency than HDDs can achieve.
