Solid-state drives do not have any moving parts, this helps improve the performance of the computer. Solid-state drives use flash memory to store and retrieve digital data. Solid-state drives (SSDs) are the latest type of hard drives that are used on desktops, laptops, tablets, and so on. A hard drive that is rated at a higher RPM has better read/write speeds compared to lower RPM hard drives. The performance of a mechanical hard drive depends on the revolutions per minute (RPM) rating of the drive. Mechanical hard drives are available in 3.5-inch form-factor that is mostly used in desktops and all-in-one computers and 2.5-inch form-factor that is used in laptops. Mechanical hard drives contain moving components inside the drive. Mechanical hard drives support higher storage capacity, and slower read/write speeds compared to solid state drives (SSD). These drives are electromechanical storage devices that use magnetic storage on a series of physical platters to store and retrieve digital data.
Mechanical hard drives (HDDs) are traditional hard drives that are used in most desktops and laptops.
