1. Mechanical hard disk (HDD): This is the most common type of computer hard disk that uses magnetic materials and rotating disks to store data.
2. Solid-state drive (SSD): SSDs use flash memory technology to store data without the need for a rotating disk. 3. Hybrid drive: This type of hard drive combines the features of SSDs and HDDs, enhancing performance through the built-in small amount of flash memory. Characteristics: The following will introduce the characteristics of these hard drives in detail: 1. Mechanical hard disk (HDD) Characteristics: relatively low price, large storage capacity, suitable for storing large amounts of data. Disadvantages: slow data read and write speed, makes some noise during operation, and may fail due to issues such as magnetic head wear. 2. Solid-state drive (SSD) Characteristics: fast read and write speed, fast boot speed, short system response time, no noise, and low heat generation. Advantages: Due to the flash memory technology it uses, SSDs perform well in shock resistance, making them very useful for laptop users who frequently move their devices. Additionally, solid-state drives have a significant impact on improving the overall performance of the system. 3. Hybrid drive (Hybrid Drive) Characteristics: Hybrid drives combine the advantages of SSDs and HDDs, improving read and write speeds by using built-in flash memory to store the most frequently used data. At the same time, it retains the large storage space of HDDs. This type of hard drive offers both fast read and write speeds at a lower cost.
