Solid-state disk (SSD) drives are all the rage among techies. The drives use non-volatile NAND flash memory, meaning there are no moving parts. Because there is no actuator arm and read/write head ...

Last week I discussed the two types of communication standards/protocols, SATA and NVMe for solid-state disk drives. Basically, the SATA protocol can be used on almost every computer, but the new NVMe ...

With AI data centers swallowing the world's entire supply of memory chips, both DRAM and NAND are now in a severe shortage, ...

Editor’s note: This story is excerpted from Computerworld. For more Mac coverage, visit Computerworld’s Macintosh Knowledge Center. Three years ago, I wrote a story comparing hard disk drives to solid ...

Solid state drives (SSDs) are faster and safer than regular hard disk drives (HDDs). On the other hand, hard disk drives tend to be less expensive than newer solid state drives. The best computer ...

When it comes to picking the right data storage, there are two mainstream options available: SSD (Solid State Drives) and HDD (Hard Disk Drives). Then there is the amalgamation of both that is a ...

Solid-state disk (SSD) drive architecture can play a big role in how fast a computer boots up and performs. But how big a role the SSDs play — and how much faster an operating system is — depends as ...

When SSDs first started entering the consumer market, there was a lot of fearmongering about SSD wear and failure. Hard ...

The SSD solid-state hard drives included in MacBook Airs or available as an option with other MacBooks are proprietary components. This means that unlike the regular hard drives included in other ...

Researchers have found flaws that can be exploited to bypass hardware decryption without a password in well known and popular SSD drives. In a new report titled "Self-encrypting deception: weaknesses ...

Hard disk drives may seem outdated and useless, now that solid state drives keep plummeting in price. But even with how relatively cheap SSDs are currently, buying a hard disk drive instead of an SSD ...

What Are Disk Speed Test Apps? Disk speed test apps help measure the overall speed and performance of a hard drive or solid-state drive (SSD) (internal or external) connected to a computer system.
