An something I would like to talk about in this post, like the title says all about hard drives. First I'd like to start off with is what is a hard drive? A hard drive is basically a box that keeps all your information in your computer, long term permanent storage. Hard drives fall under two categories, classic hard drives and solid state drives. Classic hard drives are mechanical which means they've got moving parts, an speeds and sizes vary. Like for example, some can put information on it at 6 gigs a second, while others have rates at around 180 gigs a second in classic hard drives. Also in classic hard drives some are as 500 gigabytes and some are as big as 6 terabytes (6000 gigabytes). Now onto solid state drives, they're hard drives with no moving parts with means that they're faster and with rates anywhere from 300 to 500 gigabytes a second. Which both solid state drives and classic hard drives both have the pros and cons, one is space classic hard drives have more space (the average is around 6 terabytes), but aren't and don't wear out as quickly; but solid state drives are faster and average around 2 terabytes of space. Any more questions please feel free to ask!
