Solid hard drive or SSD is a storage system that stores our data on chips. Solid disks, unlike traditional hard disks, have no mechanical parts.<\/p>\n

Currently, hard drives have reached an interesting storage capacity, reaching in some models up to 4TB, existing units of up to 16TB in an industrial version.<\/p>\n

A traditional hard drive, HHD has until recently been the storage system on any computer. It is made up of a metal layer with magnetic cover, a mechanical arm, and a read and writes head that stores the data.<\/p>\n

An SSD stores data on a series of interconnected flash memory chips capable of retaining information even when there is no electrical connection. The chips can be permanently embedded in the motherboard or can be embedded in a device that can be connected to the motherboard of any computer. This type of chip is different from the one used by USB memory, being much faster and more reliable, hence the same capacity as the SSD is more expensive than a USB memory.<\/p>\n

SSD hard drives began operating in the late 2000s, with the rise of netbooks, ultrabooks, and other types of laptops. The size of the SSD disk has been standardized in the 2.5 \u201dformat, making it possible to remove an HHD from any laptop and replace it with an SSD.<\/p>\n
