SSD vs HDD

Pros and cons 

​

  • When it comes to capacity, SSDs for computers are available in 120GB to 30.72TB capacities, whereas HDDs can go anywhere from 250GB to 20TB..

  • When measuring cost per capacity, HDDs come out on top.

  • SSDs in general are more reliable than HDDs, which again is a function of having no moving parts. That’s because without movement, SSDs aren’t affected by vibration or related thermal issues.

  • SSDs commonly use less power and result in longer battery life because data access is much faster and the device is idle more often. With their spinning disks, HDDs require more power when they start up than SSDs.

With all SSD/HDD replacements a fresh installation of window is installed, this includes DATA TRANSFER. We can use your old Windows licence key or you can purchase a new one.
