1. The document compares the performance of solid state drives (SSDs) and hard disk drives (HDDs) through a series of experiments measuring boot up speed, read/write speeds, and operating temperatures.
2. The results show SSDs booted up on average 17.2 seconds compared to 42.2 seconds for HDDs. SSDs also had significantly faster read/write speeds of 443/366 MB/s compared to 95/94 MB/s for HDDs. Operating temperatures were similar between the two.
3. While HDDs have greater maximum storage capacity compared to SSDs, SSDs have faster performance for boot up times and application loading, making them generally better suited for applications requiring speed

O 2 types of data storage devices
O Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
O Solid State Drive (SSD)
4. Background
O HDD:
O IBM 1956
O Magnetic coating on metal platters
O Data are read/written by movements of
magnetic heads.
5. Background
O SSD:
O 1950s
O Controller and NAND flash memory chips
O Data are read/written by read/write
functions
6. Objective and Audience
O Objective
O Provide the statistical figures
O Compare differences between HDD and
SSD
O Manufacturers
O identify which drives will be more suitable
O educate their end users.
7. Literature Review
O Highlight differences between drives
O Primary advantages of both drives
O Research gap in past researches
8. Differences
O Power consumption:
O SSD uses 5% of system power
O HDD uses 10% of system power
O Power usage of SSD is half of a HDD in
both state.
9. Differences
O Price of SSD is significantly higher:
O Highly complex process.
O Sophisticated flash memory
O Heat dissipation of SSD is lower:
O Uses lesser power than HDD
10. Primary Advantages
O Primary advantages of SSD:
O Faster performance
O Booting up of PC
O Launching of applications
O Primary advantages of HDD:
O Higher maximum storage capacity
O Up to 4 Terabytes
11. Primary Advantages
O Reasons why HDD lost in performance:
O More time spent waiting for platters to
access data
O Reasons why SSD lost in storage
capacity:
O Limitations in size of transistors and parts
in SSD
12. Research Gap
O Little has shown:
O Temperature fluctuation at different
intervals
O Statistical figures of boot up and read/write
speed with a fair environment
13. Method
O The aim of the experiments were to obtain
data to evaluate the performance of each
of the drives.
O Three experiments:
O Boot-up speed
O Read & Write speed
O Operating temperature
15. Materials (Cont’d)
O Blackmagic Disk Speed
Test
O A software used to assess
storage drives’ read and
write performance.
O It obtains the drives’
performance by comparing
the time taken to write and
read large data to and from
the drive.
16. Materials (Cont’d)
O iStat Menus
O A software that allow
users to monitor
detailed information of
the computer in real
time.
O It makes use of the
sensors built inside of
the computer to obtain
the hardware
information.

Notes de l'éditeur
Hard disk usage because as we all know hardware have lifespan, as it get older the functionality is not as good as new.
For SSD it used NAND technology which used a micro controller and manipulate the data in the Option: explain how nand technology and spining disc workBecause of the spinning HDD consume more power supply hence it generate more heat compare to SSD.
