Introduction

The hard disk drive is the data storage device for your computer. If it breaks, you may choose to replace it with either another 2.5" SATA hard drive or an SSD. An SSD does not have any moving parts, is more resistant to shock, has faster read and write speeds, and runs quieter than a hard disk drive. However, SSDs are also more expensive.
