Choosing The Best File Storage Option Using SSD or HDD
By Jake Orton
If they both perform the same function, it may not be easy to tell which is better for file storage. However, there is a marked difference between solid state drives and hard disk drives. For example, a SSD may be much more expensive, in the �250 range, compared to a �50 HDD. Some people may ask why so much before they are willing to fork over the money for such an expensive storage option. It may help to know the advantage of where your pounds may be going.
Hands down, SSD is a better option if a business needs speed for their computers. A computer running on a SSD will boot in under a minute? It also is not considered the "base" to have at least a SSD with no less than 500 GB of data storage. For some, this may make SSD not a very affordable storage option. However, if a business can afford getting an SSD, it may benefit them more. Unlike a hard disk drive, the computer does not have to run peripherals before starting. These can slow down an operating system and lead to possibly making it easier to lose data through hackers or accidental data loss.
The advantages of having the noisiest Computer
While there are some computers that have more SSD storage than HDD storage, companies are still experimenting with solid state drives. The good news is usually the noisier the computer, it may mean a faster hard drive. Because the hard drive platters must spin, more noise may mean the hard disk drive is spinning at a higher rate of speed. But, you cannot judge by sound alone. A computer also may have gotten banged around and a damaged hard disk drive can create a large amount of noise.
An SSD may have a slight advantage in this regard because there are no moving parts to a solid state drive, so they are the quietest drives. Because they spin, it is hard to make HDD too small; however, some computer manufacturers have begun to use drives without moving parts in their computers. This may explain the number of slimmer laptops and tablets on the market. However, SSD still has its disadvantages. It can only be written over a few times, thanks to TRIM technology that optimizes read/write cycles. If you do not care about cost or fragmentation, SSD is a better option over HDD. However, it also may be a more rugged option over a HDD because it has no moving parts that will wear out.
Isn't it nice to know a solid state drive may also minimize the opportunity for data loss because of problems with misreading because a spinning platter malfunctions?
