    HDDs use spinning platters to read and write data, while SSDs store data on memory chips and have no moving parts, allowing for faster access times. SSDs are more expensive but smaller, lighter, more energy efficient and reliable than HDDs, which can store more data but have slower read/write speeds. Both are used for storage in computer systems, along with memory cards which add portable storage to electronic devices using flash memory cards inserted into sockets.

    STORAGE

    SSD, HDD, MEMORY CARD


    HDDs are traditional storage devices with spinning platters that
    read and write data. SSDs use newer technology that stores data on
    instantly accessible memory chips.

    COMPARISONS BETWEEN SSD AND
    HDD
    SSD HDD
    Movement: It is a solid drive, and no movement occurs Movement: It is a moving drive, and the hard disk spins
    while its functioning. when it is functioning.
    Speed: It has the faster processing speed. Speed: The processing speed is low in comparison to
    SSD.
    Storage – When it comes to capacity, SSDs for Storage – HDDs can go anywhere from 250 GB to 14
    computers are available in 120 GB to 4 TB capacities. TB.
    R/W Time: It has a shorter Read/Write time. R/W Time: It has a longer Read/Write time.
    Weight: In terms of weight, SSD is lighter in comparison Weight: HDD is heavier.
    to HDD. This is because no external mechanics or motor
    is attached to the drive.
    Power Consumption: No motion results in less use of Power Consumption: Because of the spinning platters,
    electricity or power while using these. more electricity and power are consumed.

    SSD HDD
    Cost: It is a modern storage drive and is costlier. Cost: It is a traditional storage drive and a bit cheaper in
    comparison to SSD.
    Size: It is smaller than the HDD. Size: It is larger than the SSD.
    Safety: SSD is more reliable in comparison to HDD. Safety: In case of any error in the drive, the entire HDD
    may crash and result in loss of data. This makes it less
    reliable.

    Both storage devices are used to boot the system, their features and functioning is
    different.
    Both Solid State Drive and Hard Disk Drive are Input-Output devices and form an
    essential part of any computer system.

    MEMORY CARDS (CONT.)
    • A memory card is an electronic data storage
    device used for storing digital information,
    typically using flash memory.
    • These are commonly used in digital portable
    electronic devices.
    • They allow adding memory to such devices using
    a card in a socket instead of a protruding USB
    flash drives.
