2. Hard disk drive performance characteristics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive...

   A hard disk head on an access arm resting on a hard disk platter. The access time or response time of a rotating drive is a measure of the time it takes before the drive can actually transfer data. The factors that control this time on a rotating drive are mostly related to the mechanical nature of the rotating disks and moving heads. It is ...

   Upgrade to an SSD: Replace your traditional hard drive with a solid-state drive (SSD) for faster boot times, quicker application launches and overall snappier performance.

4. Hybrid drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_drive

   A hybrid drive (solid state hybrid drive – SSHD, and dual-storage drive) is a logical or physical computer storage device that combines a faster storage medium such as solid-state drive (SSD) with a higher-capacity hard disk drive (HDD). The intent is adding some of the speed of SSDs to the cost-effective storage capacity of traditional HDDs.

5. ReadyBoost - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReadyBoost

   The core idea of ReadyBoost is that a flash memory (e.g. a USB flash drive or an SSD) has a much faster seek time than a typical magnetic hard disk (less than 1 ms), allowing it to satisfy requests faster than reading files from the hard disk. It also leverages the inherent advantage of two parallel sources from which to read data, whereas ...

6. Solid-state drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive

   A disk-on-a-module (DOM) is a flash drive with either 40/44-pin Parallel ATA (PATA) or SATA interface, intended to be plugged directly into the motherboard and used as a computer hard disk drive (HDD). DOM devices emulate a traditional hard disk drive, resulting in no need for special drivers or other specific operating system support.

7. IOPS - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOPS

   Input/output operations per second (IOPS, pronounced eye-ops) is an input/output performance measurement used to characterize computer storage devices like hard disk drives (HDD), solid state drives (SSD), and storage area networks (SAN).
