Traditional magnetic hard drives use platters that spin and a magnetic head that applies negative and positive charges to the platters to record data in 1s and 0s.
SSD drives are essentially flash drives similar to what is used in iPods. "Switches" in each memory "bank" are turned on and off with an electrical signal to record the data in 1s and 0s.
SSD is faster because it does not have to "seek" for the location of the data on the hard drive.
Yes they do cost more
Nope. Flash drives don't use magnetic storage.
Solid State Drives (SSD) are more robust that traditional magnetic drives. They dont have any moving parts and generate less heat during operation that magnetic drives. They are also not vulnerable to strong magnetic fields which magnetic drives are. They use less energy in operation as they have no moving parts. On the downside SSD's are susceptible to degradation over time and cannot be physically defragged (as magnetic drives can be).

Magenetic tape drives are obsolete. They were used to record data on the magnetic tapes.The data was accessed sequentially.
A magnetic drive stores data on a rotating platter using magnetism. A solid state drive is all electronic and uses neither magnetism nor moving parts.The primary advantages are that solid state drives can be faster, use less power and survive physical shocks, like dropping it on the floor, that would kill a magnetic drive.
A 16 gigabyte solid-state drive and a 160 gigabyte hard drive vary based on how their data is stored. Solid-state drives use integrated circuit assemblies as memory. Hard drives use moving electromechanical magnetic disks to store data.
in the cross belt drives the 2 shaft rotates in opposite direction whereas in open belt drive the 2 shafts rotates in the same direction the angle of lap or contact is different for both the drives
The purpose of SCSI hard drives are to exchange information between separate computers. Whereas, EIDE hard drives addresses a computers interface between its individual hard drive and its storage disks.

I drive to work every morning. She drives a car. My computer has one drive. / My computer has two drives. My brother drives me crazy. His thirst for knowledge drives him to study harder.
a vector drive is vertical, a scalar is horizontal.
