It’s no secret that data is changing and that data storage devices are changing right along with it. So the debate wages on as to which

type of storage technology will stick around and which storage type will fade away. The decision between hard disk drives (HDDs) versus solid state drives (SSDs) is not that simple. On the surface you could argue that HDDs will run their course because they are slow and inefficient, or that SSD technology isn’t sustainable because it’s so expensive. The truth is somewhere in the middle. Hard disk technology is improving in some sectors, and SSD technology is becoming more affordable. In this post we’ll cover some key differences between SSDs and HDDs so you can make the best decision possible.

HDDs versus SSDs: What’s the difference?

HDD versus SSD Considerations

The world of storage devices is fairly split in the middle. IT pros don’t want to get rid of storage solutions that have served them well over the years, and some early adopters are a little too quick to abandon reliable technology. But with SSD technology experience a sharp decline in cost, it’s hard to argue against the full-scale adoption of solid state technology.
