Here, upgrading an HDD to an SSD will surprise you for the fast speed, and replacing an old SSD with a new one may make no speed difference until you’re writing huge files every single day. Now, are you amazed at the truth? But still you should think it over:įirstly, make sure that you indeed need an SSD, for example, you have a computer for years of usage and have a traditional HDD, or you already have an SSD but without enough capacity to store new data. Comparing to a hard drive that reads data by physically moving a magnetic head to a specific part of rotating platter and takes around 17ms, an SSD reads data through its memory chip and takes less than 0.1ms.
Most importantly, SSDs are with super fast random-access times. Unlike traditional HDDs (hard disk drives), SSDs don’t have moving parts and also are much better in almost every aspect, such as, using less power, being cooler and more durable, etc. SSDs (Solid State Drives) can bring you fast speed of loading program and writing data.
