There are multiple reasons SSDs are faster than HDDs. SSDs don't suffer from degraded performance due to file fragmentation. SD capacities are increasing, and enterprise solutions can store up to 100TB on a single drive. That's five times larger than the current top HDDs. However, the price for such drives isn't even worth mentioning. We're still a long way off from SSDs beating HDDs at a price per GB, and until that happens, HDDs will remain a viable option for many people and businesses. Choose an SSD if you do not want to need DATA RECOVERY SERVICES a short time after the purchase.
