Difference between Hard Disk and SSD

Difference between HDD and SSD Introduction Hard disk drive (HDD) A hard disk drive (HDD) is an old storage device that uses mechanical platters and a moving read/write head to access data. Solid-state drive (SSD) A solid-state drive (SSD) is a modern faster type of device that has no moving parts and it stores data on instantly-accessible memory chips.

There are no distinctions away limit. • You can get HDDs and SSDs in comparative sizes. Normally the range is 128 GB to 2 TB.
