[QUOTE="Deleted member 21043, post: 238124"] While a SSD (for anyone who doesn't know what it stands for, it stands for Solid State Drive) can be good due to it's speed, but there are also negatives to using one. Positives: [LIST] [*]A SSD has no moving parts. [*]Wires move at speed of electricity. [*]Increases PC lifespan due to the reduce of heat use and electrical usage. [*]Less noise. [*]Temperature fluctuations, high movements and vibrations do not affect the SSD. Even if it did, no moving parts are there to damage/break. [/LIST] Negatives: [LIST] [*]Prices of a SSD are a lot more than a HDD. [*]Vulnerable to power loss. [*]Batteries can reduce the capacity/lower the battery, as in less time to use your PC when unplugged. This is because many SSDs still use more power than the HDD, like when it's idle it is still using power. [*]Disk Defragmentation, even done unintentially can write unncessary files to the disk. [/LIST] [B]Overall: A SSD will win when it comes to the price, noise and form factor (no moving parts), but a HDD will win when it comes to the price and availability.[/B] Thanks! :) [/QUOTE]
