If you want to speed up your PC without putting too much effort into it or spending large amounts of money, putting an SSD in place of your HDD can really be a winning move. In fact, SSD memories are much faster than normal hard drives and make the PC more responsive and performance. Let's see in detail how these solid state memories work, the types on the market and when they cost.
What is an SSD
Many people get confused when it comes to SSD and HDD, so of solid state memories and physical hard drives, the purpose of both products is always to store data, but it is the way they do it that marks a clear difference. The abbreviation SSD stands for Solid State Drive, solid state memories precisely, and they differ from hard drives because
there is no moving part. By now, these types of memories are taking over the market, both mobile and desktop, thanks to their efficiency and high performance. Although, at present, prices are still much higher than hard drives, which makes these memories still unsuitable for storing large amounts of data.
The advantages of SSDs
Solid State Drives have no mechanical moving parts, unlike hard disks, this brings various advantages that have a great impact on daily use. The biggest and most tangible advantage in using a PC with SSD is speed. The fact that the data does not reside on a mechanical disk increases exponentially the reading speed and therefore also the performance and responsiveness of our PC.
