    The document compares and contrasts the components, performance, and specifications of external hard drives, solid state drives (SSDs), and pen drives. External hard drives contain mechanical parts like disks and motors, so they have longer read/write times and are more susceptible to damage from vibration. SSDs have no moving parts and thus have shorter read/write times, produce less heat and noise, and can withstand more vibration. Pen drives are similar to SSDs in having no mechanical parts. SSDs and pen drives are lighter than external hard drives. SSDs typically have higher storage capacities and prices per gigabyte than external hard drives or pen drives.

    Device External Hard drive External SSD Pen drive

    Components HDD contains moving mechanical SSD does not contains mechanical parts, Pen drive does not contains
    parts only electronic parts like Ics mechanical parts, only electronic parts
    like ICs.

    Read/Write Time HDD has longer R/W time as a result SSD has shorter R/W time as a result it is slower than SSD
    it is slower faster
    Heat, Electricity, Hard disk drives use more electricity Since no such rotation is needed in solid uses less power & do not generate
    Noise to rotate the platters, generating state drives, they use less power and do heat or noise
    heat and noise not generate heat or noise

    Defragmentation The performance of HDD drives SSD drive performance is not impacted Not required
    worsens due to fragmentation; by fragmentation. So defragmentation is
    therefore, they need to be not necessary
    periodically defragmented

    Weight HDDs are heavier than SSD drives SSD drives are lighter than HDD drives Lightest & portable
    because they do not have the rotating
    disks, spindle and motor

    Dealing with The moving parts of HDDs make SSD drives can withstand vibration up to withstand vibration
    vibration them susceptible to crashes and 2000Hz, which is much more than HDD
    damage due to vibration
