What are solid state drives for

Solid state hard disk is used to store data and perform fast reading of data.

Solid state hard disk, referred to as solid state disk, solid state hard disk with solid state electronic storage chip array and made of hard disk, by the control unit and storage unit, solid state hard disk in the interface specification and definition, function and use of the method with the ordinary hard disk's identical, in the product shape and size is also completely consistent with the ordinary hard disk, is widely used in the military, automotive, industrial control, It is widely used in military, automotive, industrial control, video surveillance, network monitoring, network terminals, electric power, medical, aviation, navigation equipment and many other fields.

The biggest role of the solid state hard disk is to read and write fast, so that no matter the computer boot or run some larger applications or games, the time to load the application will be the shorter, the user feels is faster, so generally will be installed in the operating system on the solid state hard disk as a means of accelerating the operation of the system.

Types of Solid State Drives

1, flash-based: flash-based SSDs, using FLASH chips as the storage medium, which is often referred to as SSDs, can be made to look like a variety of molds, such as laptop hard drives, microdisks, memory cards, flash drives and other styles.

2. DRAM-based: DRAM-based SSDs use DRAM as the storage medium and have a narrower range of applications. They are modeled after traditional hard drives and can be set up and managed by most operating system file system utilities, and provide industry-standard PCI and FC interfaces for connecting to hosts or servers.
