SSD -- Solid State Drives are getting more affordable and mainstream

Solid State Drives are getting more affordable and mainstream

Solid State Drive or SSD is a storage device that has no movable parts.

It is made up of RAM memory chips and is faster that the traditional hard drive (which has mechanical moving platters and is slower than SSD and uses more energy)

SSDs can be used in high altitudes like up in the mountains where regular hard drives might not work.

You can walk around with a laptop with and SSD running while you can't do that with a laptop with a hard drive without adverse effects.

Sudden motion won't hurt a SSD but will damage a hard drive.

Benefits of SSD:

fast

energy efficient

increased battery life on laptops

least heat

more durable due to no movable parts

---------------------------

A 240GB SSD can be had for under $100.

A 120GB SSD can be had for under $70.

I bought a Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD for $138 on Black Friday.

SSDs are getting cheaper in price and by next year, 1TB SSDs will be under $199.
