    The document compares solid state disks (SSDs) and hard disks (HDDs). SSDs store data on memory chips, have no moving parts, shorter read/write times, support more I/O operations, are lighter, smaller, more reliable and faster than HDDs. HDDs use spinning platters and a moving head to access data, have longer read/write times, support fewer I/O operations, are heavier, larger, produce noise, and are slower than SSDs.
