Computer hard disk solid state and mechanical difference

Computer hard disk solid state and mechanical differences are as follows:

One, the use of the scope of the different

Solid state hard disk applications than the use of mechanical hard disk is more extensive, solid state hard disk in the electronic world plays a very important part, very much by the industry's attention, and the use of mechanical hard disk is not as flexible as the scope of the solid state hard disk. Currently the largest capacity volume of solid state drives for 1.6TB, rumor has it that IBM began testing 4TB high-speed solid state drive group, and mechanical hard disk compared to the TB capacity measured in terms of the difference between the two is a very large proportion.

Two, the complexity of different

Mechanical hard disk internal components to be more complex than the SSD, the internal existence of solid-state hard disk does not have the motor and fan, so in this regard, solid-state hard disk than the mechanical hard disk has a great advantage, and solid-state hard disk than the mechanical hard disk in the work of a lot of quiet. In addition, in terms of power consumption, solid state drives are also lower than traditional mechanical hard disk.

Three, read and write speeds are different

In the hard disk important read and write speeds, solid state hard disk read and write speeds than mechanical hard disk read and write speeds are high, generally to be higher than the speed of about 2 times the speed of read and write capabilities, SLC only 100,000 times the read and write life of low-cost MLC, read and write life of only 10,000 times, compared to the traditional hard disk has no advantage to speak of.

Solid State Drives
The revolutionary Solid State Drive technology allows users to easily reach the limitations of their PC with ease.

Solid state drives offer fast read/write speeds, light weight, low energy consumption, and small footprints that traditional mechanical hard drives do not have, while their disadvantages are more obvious. Although IDC believes that SSDs have entered the mainstream of the storage market, they are still expensive, have lower capacity, and are more difficult to recover from hardware damage. And there are also those who believe that the durability of SSDs is relatively short.
