HDD vs SSD
HDD (Hard Disk Drive)
Uses magnetic disks (platters) that spin at high speed, while a read and write head moves to record and read data.
→ Has many mechanical moving parts (slower).
SSD (Solid State Drive)
Stores data electronically in flash memory (semiconductor chips).
→ No moving parts (faster).
Quick Comparison
Read and write speed: SSD wins
Price per capacity: HDD wins
Noise and durability: SSD wins
Selection Guide
C drive: Always choose SSD (NVMe SSD highly recommended)
D and E drives: It depends
1. If you need large storage for data, choose an HDD
2. If budget allows, a high capacity SSD is recommended
