Solid-State Drives (SSDs) and Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) are two primary forms of internal and external storage used in desktops, laptops, and servers, each with distinct characteristics.

SSDs store data on flash memory chips, offering lightning-fast read/write speeds, lower latency, and greater durability due to the absence of moving parts. They’re ideal for operating systems, boot drives, and applications requiring fast access, often using SATA or NVMe interfaces.

HDDs, on the other hand, store data magnetically on spinning platters and use a mechanical read/write arm. While they are significantly slower than SSDs, they offer larger storage capacities at a lower cost, making them a go-to for bulk storage like backups and media libraries.
