HDD Characteristics

moving part drives are generally slower than SSDs, but reach large capacities and have a better price-per-GB ratio. Server disks are more reliable than desktop disks and achieve higher MTBF (Medium Disk Failure Time) values.

SSD Characteristics

SSDs, or flash memory disks, do not yet reach such large capacities as conventional HDDs. However, their undeniable advantage is the high speed of writing and reading and many times lower latency. Today, the lifespan of SSDs is practically equal to conventional hard disks, but it is necessary to correctly choose the key value of DWPD (number of overwrites of disk capacity in one day).

Interface

When choosing a hard drive, you need to consider choosing SATA, SAS, or NVMe drives. SATA and SAS drives are designed for both hard drives and SSDs and differ in theoretical transfer rate. NVMe disks are only flash and as such achieve the highest read and write values ​​and are also characterized by very low latency.

Speed and capacity

A key parameter for hard disks is the speed of rotation of the plates, which for hard disks range between 5400 rpm - 15000 rpm. Which directly affects the speed of the disk and, of course, its price. Nowadays, mechanical hard drives are increasingly being replaced by SSD solutions. SSDs are many times faster, and their price is starting to approach that of classic hard drives. They also have a much lower access time and no flash memory wear during reading. The latest standard has become NVMe, which further enhances the quality of flash memory drives and is gradually being promoted by more and more hard drive manufacturers.
