SSDs (Solid State Disk) are known to dramatically improve the performance of our systems, even when buying a better processor.
This is because basically the performance of our storage units (call HDDs) have always been the bottleneck that keeps our systems running at maximum speed. Whether you start your system, open a program, save a file or surfing the Internet, always access the hard drive to read or store information. No matter how fast the processor or RAM, the time delay to read (or write) the hard disk information is what will put the brakes on the overall speed of your system.
How to know if SSDs are right for you?
SSDs are still a bit expensive relative to the storage space when compared to mechanical hard drives. But the extra price you pay is because you get something far more valuable: Speed
In practical terms the benefits you get when you buy an SSD are:
• The operating system loads in less time
• The programs and files run much faster
• The data transfer is much faster
Other advantages are obtained with an SSD are:
• Silence. Having no mechanical parts these discs do not emit noise
• SSDs emit less heat than hard drives
• Low power consumption, resulting in a longer battery life in laptops
• Greater resistance to shock and vibration
• Much lower latency
• high transfer rates for reading and writing data (over 330MB / s)
