Solid State Drives vs. Hard Disk Drives
Storage is your PC's long-term memory. It's where your files, programs, games and all kinds of content will be saved so you can access them later whenever you want. Today there are two forms of storage: HDD (hard disk drive) and SSD. Dell also offers the option of a hybrid model, where part of the storage is made by SSD and the other part by regular HDD.
Solid State Drives Excel in speed, high performance, Input/Output requirements; High reliability due to lack of spinning disks; Go through a rigorous validation process before they are ever considered as additions to the PowerEdge server portfolio. |
Hard Disk Drives Best when used as part of a complete storage strategy that balances cost per GB, capacity, application needs and performance; Lower price-to-capacity, which can be most beneficial for large-capacity workloads or applications requiring large amounts of storage. |
