Hard drives and solid-state drives (SSDs) are storage devices used to store and retrieve digital data in computers and electronic devices. Hard drives consist of rotating magnetic platters, read/write heads, and a motor assembly, while SSDs use flash memory chips to store data. Both hard drives and SSDs come in various capacities and form factors, offering different levels of storage space and performance. Hard drives are ideal for high-capacity storage at a lower cost per gigabyte, while SSDs provide faster data access speeds and improved durability due to their lack of moving parts.
