SSD, (Solid State Drives)

SSD's have made a number for positive advancements have been made over the past few years.  The are cool, add no temperature to your system, silent, no physical movement parts may use less powers and are extremely rugged, some are able to withstand 20g, (20 times the gravity force on 3 axis, etc...).  SSD, are silent when operating.

SSD may have some problems at this time; they still have problems with data being writing to the same memory location causing failures, (most SSDrive have coding method of minimise this issue.) They are, at this time expensive for the same storage sizes as HHD, regular hard drives. They have lower storage capacity's than HHD, These problems are very likely to be overcome within the next year or two.  Note that it is said that traditional HHD's also produce errors quite often but the built in error checking codes correct these errors, (on-the-fly), as they are being used so users don't normally notice these errors.

SSD Defragmentation; This is not usually recommended for Solid State Drives. This is because the drive management software generally scatters the data throughout the storage medium to avoid rewriting to the same location repeatedly which could cause that memory cell to fail.  Unlike traditional HHD each memory cell has the same access speed anyway.

Solid State Drive technology is quickly developing and some of this information may be dated quickly; therefore only use a guide.

Solid-state drives reach one terabyte (So storage sizes are already starting to catch up with traditional HHD's)

Storage supplier pureSilicon has announced its Nitro Series of SSDs, with a maximum capacity of 1TB in a 2.5-inch format. The speed of the drive will be 300MBps when running through its SATA II interface, pureSilicon said in a statement. According to the company, the sustained read rate will be 240MBps and the sustained write rate 215MBps. By way of comparison, SanDisk claims an anticipated sequential performance of 200MBps read and 140MBps write for its SSDs.

	When it comes to storage for notebooks, desktops, and servers the new kid on the lock is the SSD. SSDs are slowly gaining on the incumbent HDDs in the vast majority of PCs and offers better performance, but at a greater cost.
