The following table shows the comparison betwee HDD and SSD
HDD | SSD | |
---|---|---|
Cost | Not expensive/Cheaper (than SSD) | More Expensive (than HDD) |
Capacity | Larger capacity | Usually smaller storage capacity, even though that there are large size SSD, over 1TB, but the price is beyond the range that most people can accept |
Speed/Access time | HDD runs slowly becuase of the moving parts, the read/write head, the spinning platters/longer access time | Runs neary 100 times faster than HDD/shorter access time |
Noise | Noisy, because of the movement of platters and the read/write head | Silent. No moving parts/it uses integrated circute assemblies to store data |
Others | Magnatic More heat More power Easy to break due to physical shock Larger size/Less portability | Not magnatic, usese integrated circuit assmblies Less heat Less power More resistent to physical shock/More durable/More reliable Smaller size/More portability |
