If you mean between hard drives and ssd's (solid state drives), then you need to read the wikipedia page on Solid State Drives, it has a comparison of the two technologies.

Can you transfer info between 2 hard drives?
Yes, you can use the slave slot for the other hard drive u nid to use an IDE cable or SATA2 cable if your hard drive is in SATA2
What is the difference between a hard disk and a CD?
CD's are plastic and tend to be back-up storage, or media-based, as they are usually only capable of holding 700 mb's of storage. A hard disk is made of a metal alloy, has much faster reading/writing speeds (depending on the age of the drive, and whether it is IDE or SATA/SATA2/SATA3) and is capable of holding much larger quantities. Some exist out there that can hold 2TB of data. That's roughly 2,000GB, or 2,000,000MB. CD's are also easily removable, simply hit an eject button. Hard Drives require a full shut down.

What are the different types of hard drive?
Correct me if I am wrong but I believe there are four different types of hard drives. Let's begin with saying that there are external hard drives. Moving on then, as far as internal hard drives go there are three different types: 1) IDE or PATA (Parallel Advanced Technology Attachment, these have what is called a ribbon cable with 40 pins to connect to the motherboard to transmit the data and what's called a molex 4 or 2 pin power cable that connects to the power cable to pretty much supply power to the hard drive) 2) SATA (these can be any of the following: SATA, SATA2, SATA3, etc. in reality it's pretty much the same thing--Serial Advanced Technology Attachment, the cable has I believe 7 pins to connect to the motherboard for the data and 15 pins for the power) 3) SSD (Solid State Drive, these are the newest type of hard drive and compared to the others quite expensive but apparently also more reliable and durable, I've never worked with one of these so I cannot tell you any more specifics about this kind)
What are three advantages to serial ATA installation?
In asking this I can safely assume that you have at least a rudimentary understanding of the workings of a computer. Serial ATA (more commonly referred to as SATA, or the newer SATA2 standard) is a new standard connection for computer storage devices such as hard drives and DVD drives, that replaces the older IDE system of connection. SATA holds a few advantages over IDE, the first and most important of which is speed. SATA devices have a faster data transfer rate than IDE had. SATA 2 is twice as fast as SATA. SATA devices use a new connection method. Gone are the old IDE Ribbon cables, and molex plugs, SATA now has some much thinner and smaller data and power cables. Because the plugs are physically a lot smaller, it means more sockets for SATA data points can be fitted onto a motherboard. Because the cabling is much simpler going straight from the motherboard to the drive, the need to set individual drives to be slave or master drive has gone, which means no more messing with small fiddly jumpers! One of the great benefits is that SATA devices ate "hot swappable", which means even if a drive is powered up, it can still be unplugged and removed, and you can plug SATA drives into powered up systems with no adverse effects. This is great if you run multiple drives in an array or raid. Finally the cost is usually cheaper than a comparable IDE device these days.
What are the two major technologies that are used for hard drives in todays computers?
A hard disk drive (HDD) is a non-volatile, random access device for digital data. It features rotating rigid platters on a motor-driven spindle within a protective enclosure. Data is magnetically read from and written to the platter by read/write heads that float on a film of air above the platters.Introduced by IBM in 1956, hard disk drives have fallen in cost and physical size over the years while dramatically increasing in capacity. Hard disk drives have been the dominant device for secondary storage of data in general purpose computers since the early 1960s, They have maintained this position because advances in their areal recording density have kept pace with the requirements for secondary storage. Today's HDDs operate on high-speed serial interfaces; i.e., serial ATA (SATA) or serial attached SCSI (SAS).
How do you add another hard disk?
To add a new hard disk: 1) Buy a disk of a type that your diskcontroller supports 2) Shut off your computer 3) Open the computer housing and locate the cables needed to connect you hard disk (there may be two, one for power and one for data if it isn't a SATA2 disk which only needs one connector) 4) Mount the new hard disk in your computer with appropriate fasteners (screws...) 5) Connect the cable(s) required 6) Put your compter together again 7) Turn on your computer 8) Depending on your operating system and the hard disk newly installed you may not have to do anything or you may have to partition and name it befor you can use the new disk
How many floppy disks will be equivalent to a hard disk of 450 GB?
Its an old square disc. You must be around 14 years young!
