Originally, it was thought that the price of a solid state drive, or SSD, would drop to the range of hard-disk drives. However, the price of the raw material used in the production of SSD is increasing and keeping the cost of the SSD well above hard-disk drives. These prices vary by brand and storage size.

Is a sata hard drive better than a solid hard drive?
a solid state drive is faster than an sata drive...
What is the difference between 16 solid state drive and 160 hard drive?
16 gb solid state drive holds 1/10th the capacity of a 160 gb hard drive. The solid state drive has no moving parts unlike a hard drive. Also the SSD has faster speeds than the HD
What is the different between ATA hard drive and Solid State hard drive?
ATA and Solid State are two different things. ATA is a connector type with SATA being it's newer form. Solid State is a type of drive medium which the data is stored on. A typical Hard Drive uses spinning platters while a Solid State drive uses flash media with no moving parts.
What type of hard drive uses flash memory?
That would be a solid state hard drive, or SSHD.
Why is a solid state drive referred to as solid state?
A normal hard drive consists of a disc that is constantly being written and overwritten, whereas a solid state drive consists of flash memory, like a USB drive. It has no moving parts and is all in one piece, therefore, solid state.
What are the technical specifications of a solid state hard drive?
A solid state hard drive is a data storage device. It is designed to replace a mechanical hard disk, but does not contain any moving parts, storing data on flash memory chips. They differ from flash drives in that they are not designed to be removable, and are designed for speed, and not for low cost.
What is the deffrence between 16 solid state drive and 160 hard 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.
Does a hard drive with more memory last longer?
Not necessarily. As a matter of fact, nowadays you can get what are called Solid State Hard Drives, which are quite different from the old school IDE hard drives and the current standard SATA hard drives. I don't know much about Solid State Hard Disk Drives but it is my understanding that they tend to last a lot longer than both IDE and SATA. A 60 GB Solid State hard drive will cost about the same as a 500 GB SATA drive, apparently because they last longer and are better all around.
How is data stored in a computer?
it is stored on a ahrd drive (hdd) or a solid state drive (ssd) a hard drive has more storage in it (usually going up to 3 terabytes, or 3042gb) a solid state hard drive has less storage, but better read/write speds.
How is all data stored in a computer?
it is stored on a ahrd drive (hdd) or a solid state drive (ssd) a hard drive has more storage in it (usually going up to 3 terabytes, or 3042gb) a solid state hard drive has less storage, but better read/write speds.
How much space does a windows account have?
depends on how much space your hard drive or solid state drive can hold.
How do you fix crackling sound at start up?
That crackling sound is your hard drive being read, and it can be fixed by replacing your hard drive with an expensive Solid State Drive.
