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: -SSD has lower latency, faster read/writes, and supports more IOPs (input output operations per second) compared to HDD. Hard disk drives use more electricity to rotate the platters, generating heat and noise. Since no such rotation is needed in solid state drives, they use less power and do not generate heat or noise.
Detailed explanation-2: -SSD Reliability Factors to Consider Regardless of the memory technology employed, SSDs don’t have moving parts such as actuator arms and spinning platters like hard drives. That’s one reason why SSDs can withstand accidental drops and other shocks, vibration, extreme temperatures, and magnetic fields better than HDDs.
Detailed explanation-3: -SSDs are newer and faster data storage devices. Like HDDs, they can hold terabytes of data, but, unlike HDDs, every piece of data on an SSD can be accessed instantaneously. That means that with an SSD, you can load up large files in seconds rather than minutes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Durability and Reliability of an SSD. SSDs are Faster than Hard Drives. Power and Energy Efficient. Less Weight and No Noise. More Practical Sizes/Form Factors.
