In addition to next-gen consoles, SSDs are now typically used inside most laptops because of their advantages. That's now changed a little, which is why more and more laptops and desktops now come with SSDs installed.
While SSD technology offers a lot of benefits over HDDs (see below), until recently it's been significantly more expensive for the same amount of storage. Access to data is controlled by an integrated processor built into the drive.Ī classic HDD, meanwhile, uses rapidly spinning, circular platters and a read-write head that physically moves across them, scanning for the right pieces of data as they're needed – that's all the whirring you heard on older computers. It's the "solid" bit that's the key term in SSD: these drives are made up from fixed flash memory that has no moving parts, like the storage inside a smartphone or USB stick (it's not exactly the same technology, but it's similar).
