Comparison of NAND-based SSD and HDD Attribute or characteristic Solid-state drive (SSD) Hard disk drive (HDD) Price per capacity SSDs are generally more expensive than HDDs and are expected to remain so. As of early 2018, SSD prices were around $0.30 per gigabyte for 4 TB models. [23]
An SSD, in form of a 2.5-inch bay device that uses Serial ATA (SATA) interface Internals of an SD card , showing the flash memory and controller integrated circuits A solid-state drive (SSD) provides secondary storage for relatively complex systems including personal computers , embedded systems , portable devices , large servers and network ...
Diagram of HDD manufacturer consolidation. More than 200 companies have manufactured HDDs over time, but consolidations have concentrated production to just three manufacturers today: Western Digital, Seagate, and Toshiba. Production is mainly in the Pacific rim.
The word nature of data transfer makes the design of a host bus adapter significantly simpler than that of the precursor HDD controller. CTL-I (Controller Interface) [ 3 ] was an 8-bit word serial interface introduced by IBM for its mainframe hard disk drives beginning with the 3333 in 1972. [ 4 ]
The first HDD [11] had an average seek time of about 600 ms. [12] and by the middle 1970s, HDDs were available with seek times of about 25 ms. [13]Some early PC drives used a stepper motor to move the heads, and as a result had seek times as slow as 80–120 ms, but this was quickly improved by voice coil type actuation in the 1980s, reducing seek times to around 20 ms.
8-, 5.25-, 3.5-, 2.5-, 1.8- and 1-inch HDDs, together with a ruler to show the length of platters and read-write heads A newer 2.5-inch (63.5 mm) 6,495 MB HDD compared to an older 5.25-inch full-height 110 MB HDD. IBM's first hard drive, the IBM 350, used a stack of fifty 24-inch platters and was of a size comparable to two large refrigerators.
