Question 1

Are SSDs Feasible only for Professional applications?

Accepted Answer

No, they are feasible for general applications too.

Question 2

Are SSDs heavy?

Accepted Answer

They are a little bit heavier than the usual hard disk drives, but not by much. A comparison of SSD drives and Hard Disk drives in terms of weight is given below: SSD Hard Disk Weight 100g 170g Width 69mm 101mm Height 9mm 9mm Length 100mm 147mm

Question 3

Do SSDs tend to make more noise?

Accepted Answer

No, they do not make more noise. All solid-state drives have a very small amount of noise when in use, because they rely on electrical circuits to read and write data. Hard disk drives also have a small amount of noise when in use. It is a myth that SSDs produce much more noise than Hard disk drives.

Question 4

Do SSD offer more writing and reading speeds?

Accepted Answer

Solid-state drives have much higher writing and reading speeds than Hard disk drives. In fact, for professional uses, Solid-state drives are the best option to go with. For personal uses, you can choose SSD or Hard disk drive. You will not get much of a difference in the speed factor while using them both for personal purposes.

Question 5

Are these devices energy efficient?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they are energy efficient. These devices, like Hard disk drives and RAMs, consume less electricity for their operations. Solid-state drives are better than Hard disk drives in terms of energy-efficiency. While Hard disk drives need to be spun up every time you require access to their data banks, Solid-state drives do not need to be spun up. They do not consume much electricity even while spinning up, and hence the overall power consumption is reduced while using them.

Question 6

Is there any chance that external electromagnetic fields will influence the solid-state drive?

Accepted Answer

No, there is no chance of external electromagnetic fields influencing the solid-state drive while it is being used on a computer or a laptop. Though it is better to avoid situations where such an influence may occur, it will not cause any harm to the solid-state drive or your system as long as it is being used on a computer or a laptop.

Question 7

Is a new solid-state drive difficult to mount on a computer or a laptop?

Accepted Answer

No, it is relatively easy to mount an SSD on your system if you have the right equipment and software for this purpose. The one thing that you should keep in mind is that an SSD has no moving parts, unlike Hard disk drives do have moving parts, which makes mounting an SSD easier than mounting Hard disk drives on your system.
