Cum cumpar un SSD – Pret si performante

[#Dobe~ClasSy!☠]

The SSD, or full solid-state drive, is a device that is different from classic HDDs, primarily by resisting some stronger shocks, which leaves those with an SSD to forget about the always keep in mind the way it is handled. The SSD is the device that appeared very recently, with much faster speed and reliability, with the task of storing data and operating system.

Over the years, numerous models of such devices have been created and marketed for various purposes, such as those for seismic data acquisition. SSD had until 2008 as the main component the permanent DRAM memory, but it was replaced with the non-volatile NAND.

Despite the fact that these devices can not be bought by anyone because of the higher cost, the SSD has many benefits over classic HDDs. First of all, they have a much higher transfer rate, but it should be known that there are several types of SSD on the market. The ones built on SINGLE LEVEL CELL technology are quite expensive but they have many benefits, and besides these, much more common in stores and at a slightly more affordable price are those based on MULTI LEVEL CELL.

What price does a SSD have?
The price of an SSD starts from ~ 200RON (80GB) and can reach up to ~ 2000RON (those of 1TB), varying depending on the brand.

Other criteria other than price and manufacturing technology:

As with HDD, some criteria need to be known depending on which SSD can be chosen. Of course, when we want to buy such a device, we need to make sure that it was built from the most advanced elements, which is often guaranteed by SandForce or Indilinx Everest.

The most important feature of SSDs is transfer speed and data access speed. This, despite being constant, is much higher than hard drives. As the strength of these devices, the speed it guarantees is due to the lack of mechanical elements with their replacement with the storage of information in the memory blocks, the computer having much faster access to that information. As has been said before, another extra point of devices is increased strength. If your hard drive has always had a problem with this topic, and it is very easy to break because of the hits, the SSD is more resistant even to strong shocks.

 

Although the SSD has many benefits such as much lower weight and much lower power consumption, which is a plus for laptops or ultrabooks, it is not necessary to rely on the fact that it has to be as long as possible expensive to make sure I made the right choice. Several other criteria for choosing a convenient SSD would be the resistance and longer life of SLC SSDs than MLCs (although MLCs are extremely reliable and are guaranteed around 5 years of intense use). It should also be remembered that, in the case of current technology, their life span is inversely proportional to their writing speed.
