Abstract
Technology is advancing at an unstoppably fast and furious pace. The IT world has known changes in a lightning fast velocity that it is hard to predict its future. Things that could only be thought of ten years ago become out-of-date technology today. To responds to the need for speed, Solid State Drive that were slow to be adapted because of the luxurious cost are now becoming the new technology due to its rising popularity and known advantages. This paper will discuss by comparing the two technologies.
Solid State Drive versus Hard Disk Drive
As technology advances— as never before, the battle of different companies and human technical intelligences to make things more dreamlike drives them to creating better emerging technologies. If we can remember history, we would know that the Information Technology (IT) world has developed quite a bit. Computers come from the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC) — with dimensions of about 9 feet by 3 feet by 80 feet, taking up 680 square feet, and weighing 30 short tons— to tablet PCs, with hundreds of better and faster capabilities, that we can hold in our palms, or smart phones that we can hold in our pocket without any noticeable indication. Our eager for better and faster IT gears stimulate our tastes and intelligences to create devices that are not only more portable but also can do more. For the latter to be practicable, the components that make up these gadgets need to respond to the demand of speed, size, and adaptability of our thrust. The permanent storage device inside the computer (also known as memory drive, HDD, or SSD) has always been an integral part of any electronic devices configured because it contains every piece of information the computer holds. As an essential component of computer systems
