Here’s a side by side comparison between solid state disks (SSDs) and conventional hard disk drives (HDDs, the mechanical stuff you probably have in your system).
The video came from Samsung, one of the tech companies who jumped on the SSD wagon early. Keep in mind this video is far from recent but it gives some great visuals as to why solid state disks are the future and our “trusty” hard disk drives are going the way of the Dodo very soon.
For us video and digital content creation (DCC) folks, upgrading to Flash SSDs is pretty much a must, at least as a boot drive. Note how Photoshop opens up nearly instantly compared to the hard disk drive. Now if we could only get SSD terabyte drives we could throw our content on these bad boys too.
