0.000 HBDThe Difference Between HDD and SSD!!
As I was Sitting in IT today we were revising some work from last year and then we came upon Hard drives and Solid State Drives, I have since then Compiled most of the differences that I recall and then some extra info that I found on the Internet: ----------  ---------- |Solid State Drive |Hard Drive | |--|--| |Electronic |Mechanical | |No Moving Parts |Has Moving Parts | |uses less Power than a Hard Drive |uses more Power than a SSD | |Way More Expensive |Less expensive | |Much Faster than a Hard Drive |Slower than a SSD | |Storage Capacity is Generally smaller |Storage is a bit Larger | |Little Time to Boot |Substantially longer to Boot | |Write speeds are **WAY** faster |Slow compared to SSD | |A magnet can not effect the SSD |Magnets can lead to lost Data | ---------- **A Picture of an SSD:**  ---------- **A Picture of a Hard Drive:**  ---------- WHY WOULD YOU CHOOSE AN SSD? -------- - If you are willing to pay for performance then this would be the perfect choice for you!! - If you don't mind having limited storage space then this is for sure a good option! ---------- WHY WOULD YOU CHOOSE A HARD DRIVE? ------- - If you want more Storage Space - If you are limited on Funds - If you Don't really care to much for booting speeds or how fast something opens ---------- When I was peaking about an HDD having 'Moving Parts', it actually does, its kinda like a pen that then writes on the ribbon to store the data there, whereas a SSD uses a lot of Different little chips to store the Data. The process which an SSD uses is called [EEPROM:](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EEPROM) > EEPROM stands for electrically erasable programmable read-only memory and is a type of non-volatile memory used in computers and other electronic devices to store relatively small amounts of data but allowing individual bytes to be erased and reprogrammed. (non-volatile means that as soon as the computer is shut down... the data is stored in **STORAGE**, if it was volatile the every time you would shut the computer off... the Data will be erased from the **Memory or RAM**) ---------- ---------- ***Lets Just say that because I actually remembered most of this stuff, I would probably remember it in the test, hopefully!!! XD XD XD*** ---------- ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ▞ ---------- **Some of my other Posts:** - [MY HOBBIES AND HEROES SPEECH!](https://steemit.com/speech/@numbnut68/my-hobbies-and-heroes-speech) - [An Awesome Experience on a Hike!!](https://steemit.com/photography/@numbnut68/an-awesome-experience-on-a-hike) - [11/02/2018 - Inspirational Sunday](https://steemit.com/inspiration/@numbnut68/11-02-2018-inspirational-sunday) - [Superstitions!](https://steemit.com/superstition/@numbnut68/superstitions) - [Another day on the bike, ~~ruined~~](https://steemit.com/life/@numbnut68/another-day-on-the-bike-ruined) -------  ---------- ***One more thing, remember:*** ***[NEVER GIVE UP!!!!](https://steemit.com/@numbnut68)*** --------------------- ---------- Thanks for reading my post, stay tuned for more posts like this ! be sure to check out my funny posts aswell which I try to post daily along with this one, UPVOTE THIS POST AND ALL MY OTHERS ASWELL, It really helps and Don’t forget to [**\\\\\\///,.-~*´¨¯¨`FOLLOW ME HERE´¨¯¨`*•~-.,** \\\\\\///](steemit.com/@numbnut68)
