Hard drives as we know them, have been around for a long time. Recently, there has been an innovation when it comes to HDDs, namely creating solid state drives. They promise a more reliable storage location and better performance. While this sounds great this new technology has its disadvantages, as well as advantages. The advantages are:
No moving parts result in higher reliability. Since data stored on hard drives is often very valuable, reliability is very important as well.
Improved random read speed. They can read data faster due to lack of required “firing up”.
They produce less noise, which can be an advantage in many environments.
Uses less electricity. This might be ultimately the reason why many businesses will switch to solid state drives.
On the other hand, here are some disadvantages:
Hard to find large solid hard drives. The biggest are 256GB, but it is hard to find bigger than 128GB. This can be a problem for anyone who is making backup of his DVD movies, or wants to store other multimedia data on his computer.
Random write speeds can be four times slower compared to regular drives.
Due to the fact that the technology is relatively new, the drives are very expensive compared to traditional ones. This will probably change in time.
Overall, I think that solid state drives might even dominate the market, but it will still require many years and definitely it is not a bargain to buy them now.
