SSD vs HDD – What’s The Difference? 

One of the many things to consider when buying or upgrading a computer is the hard drive. The hard drive is responsible for storing information on your computer in the long term. In other words, the hard drive prevents the information you’ve saved to your computer from going away once it is turned off. Your photos, the essay you’re writing for class, the music you’ve stored on your computer – all of that goes onto your hard drive. Hard disk drives, or HDDs, are the traditional type of drive used in a computer. 



A solid state drive, or SSD, is different in that it has no moving parts. The hard disk drive, as the name implies, has a disk on which the information is stored, and that disk is a moving part. The SSD has a series of interconnected flash-memory chips. These chips retain data even when they’re not powered. SSDs are faster to load than HDDs.

If you’re interested in learning more about HDDs and SSDs, stop by BrainWave. Our expert techs can discuss the benefits of both with you. If you’re looking to upgrade your computer’s drive, we can help you with that as well.
