Why upgrade to SSD?
| Attribute | Solid-state drive | Hard disk drive |
|---|---|---|
| Data transfer rate | 250MB/s to 550MB/s | 50MB/s to 110MB/s |
| Random access time | About 0.1 ms |
12 ms to 20ms |
| Noise (acoustic) | none | HDDs have moving parts (heads, actuator, and spindle motor) and make some sound; noise levels vary between models, but can be significant |
| Fragmentation | irrelevant for SSDs | files become fragmented over time, reduces overall performance |
| Consistent read performance | Read performance does not change based on where data is stored on an SSD | If data from different areas of the platter must be accessed, as with fragmented files, response times will be increased by the need to seek each fragment |
| Temperature control | Lower power draw and no moving parts so little heat is produced | According to Seagate, ambient temperatures above 35 °C can shorten the life of a hard disk, and reliability will be compromised at drive temperatures above 55 °C. Fan cooling may be required if temperatures would otherwise exceed these values. In practice most hard drives are used without special arrangements for cooling. |
| Weight | 20-30% lighter than HDD | HDDs is normally heavier, especially true for 3.5" drives. |
| Power consumption | average 2W, resulting in 30+ minute battery boost | More power draw, averages 6 – 7 watts |
| High altitude operation | Can endure high altitude during operation. | Specially manufactured sealed and pressurized hard disks are needed for reliable high-altitude operation. |
| Susceptibility to environmental factors | Shock and vibration resistant | Heads floating above rapidly rotating platters are susceptible to shock and vibration |
| Susceptibility to magnetic fields | No impact on flash memory | Magnets or magnetic surges could in principle damage data, although the magnetic platters are usually well-shielded inside a metal case. |
| Failure Rate | 2.0 million hours | 1.5 million hours |
