First of all, you know that you know how big your SSD and your mechanical hard disk are respectively, and then right-click on Manage from Computer, and then click on Disk Management. Then according to the size to distinguish, install the system disk is mechanical hard disk or solid state disk.
Solid State Drives (Solid State Drives), also known as solid disks, are hard disks made from arrays of solid-state electronic memory chips, consisting of a control unit and a storage unit. In the interface specification and definition, function and use of the same as ordinary hard disk, in the product shape and size is also consistent with the ordinary hard disk. It is widely used in military, automotive, industrial control, video surveillance, network monitoring, network terminals, power, medical, aviation, navigation equipment and other fields.
Solid state hard disk storage medium is divided into flash memory (FLASH chip), DRAM two kinds. Its chip operating temperature range is wide, commercial products 0 ~ 70 ℃; industrial products -40 ~ 85 ℃. Because solid state drive technology is different from traditional hard disk technology, it has generated a number of emerging memory manufacturers. The new generation of SSDs commonly use SATA-2 interface, SATA-3 interface, SAS interface, ?MSATA interface, PCI-E interface and so on.
Mechanical hard drives are traditional ordinary hard drives where data is stored in disk sectors. Mainly consists of: platters, heads, platter spindles and control motors, head controllers, data converters, interfaces, caches and other components. Hard disk as a precision device, dust is its enemy, so the air into the hard disk must be filtered.
