Disks - HDD and SSD

In this section, you can learn more about the two main types of storage disks used in computers and servers: Hard Disk Drives (HDD) and Solid-State Drives (SSD).

Types of Disks

HDD (Hard Disk Drive): A traditional storage device that uses mechanical parts, such as spinning platters and a read/write head, to access data. HDDs are typically larger in capacity but slower than SSDs.

SSD (Solid-State Drive): A newer type of storage that uses flash memory to store data, providing faster read/write speeds and greater durability due to the absence of moving parts.
