SSD Disks To Step On The Accelerator Of Your Computer
SSD Disks : From those floppy disks of 3 1/2 of low density with capacities that today are derisory (720 kb) to the SSD disks that are analyzed here mediate a few years, just over twenty, but a whole technological abyss.
In between, to summarize, we have gone through the CD, the pen drive or the hard drive with a data capacity unthinkable just a few years ago.
Not to mention the price reduction. To get an idea, in 1993, an 80MB hard drive cost almost 200 dollars.
Today, for that price, you can buy an 8TB hard drive. To get an idea, each TB (tera) is equivalent to one million MB (megabytes).
Also, for a third of that money, you can find in the market SSD disks that, although not as much as in the case of the HDD, dramatically multiply their capacity.

Flash memory is already commonly used in devices such as smartphones or MP3s to the detriment of the hard disk drive.
It is also most commonly used in the most modern laptops and in table terminals its expansion is also unstoppable.
The reasons derive from the fact that flash memory is more advantageous mainly in two aspects: ability to compact and, as already anticipated, in the energy behavior.
