Solid State Drives
About Solid State Drives
The advent of the Solid State Drive (SSD) can be thought of as the next step in computer data storage. While traditional hard drives are charged with storing all of your computer's files and software applications, a solid state drive does the same by employing flash memory. This marks a substantial improvement over hard drive technology due to the simple fact that a hard drive utilizes a series of mechanical parts while flash memory saves all of its data on a memory chip (hence the name, “solid state drive”). SSDs enjoy several advantages over hard drives:
- Power consumption is far reduced resulting in fewer malfunctioning and overheating issues.
- Relatively silent during operation compared to the noisy chattering of a hard drive.
- Less susceptible to crashing, a very common occurrence with hard drives.
- Access times are shorter resulting in smoother performance.
- Far greater durability when it comes to being dropped or any other physical trauma. This is one of the primary reasons why solid states drives are seeing increased adoption in laptops and netbooks.
