Not all storage drives are created equal and there are lots of three letter acronyms out there that aren’t exactly easy to remember. Thankfully our buddy Jon is here to explain the difference between the two major types of storage drive categories: SSDs and HDDs—Solid State Drives and Hard Drive Disks.
While there are differences you need to know, you shouldn’t think of these two types of drives as competitors for the same jobs. They’re more like teammates that tag in and out depending on what you need to get done.
Quick recap: SSDs handle the fast, intense lifts like editing high resolution video or moving lots of data quickly; HDDs handle the big, long haul projects like backups and redundancy. Use both, and your workflow becomes unstoppable. Shop for your next storage solution here.
