SSD Advantages
Reliability
No moving parts means the risk of mechanical failure is extremely rare. You’ll enjoy greater durability and improved resistance to data loss in the event of an accidental drop. Also, there is no noise and less heat is generated.
Faster Access Time
Solid state drives can access data more quickly than standard hard drives, so you’ll enjoy a boost in performance when starting up your computer and opening files and applications. ExperCom is using the Super Talent SSD with a maximum read speed of 120MB/s and a maximum write speed of 40MB/s.
Less Power Draw
Solid state drives require less power to operate, potentially increasing battery life.
SSD Disadvantages
Cost
Solid state drives cost more per gigabyte than standard hard dives.
Capacity
Solid state drives have smaller capacities than standard hard dives.
Slower Write Times
The write times for solid state drives are typically slower than standard hard drives.
