Christmas may be over but it does not mean that people cannot upgrade to new technology, or spoil or gift themselves with new gadgets that would make their work or hobbies better. Solid State Drives have been popular since its release, offering fast read and write speeds with a more durable body, now made portable by SanDisk's Extreme Pro lineup.
Most computer hard drives, particularly the mid to top tier variants, have all dual hard drive systems, with a hard disk drive (HDD) and solid-state drive (SSD) functioning together to create a powerful experience. SSDs would focus on performance while HDDs would focus on storage.
On the other hand, some computers rely mostly on SSDs, including Apple's entire PC Laptop lineups the MacBook Air and Pro, both running full-time SSDs, contributing to its signature fast loads. However, SSDs are not limited to computer ports anymore, as storage companies have migrated it to portable drives for "Plug and Play" technology, available at all times.
SanDisk has popularized its brand for reliable storage that can be used for any device, including cameras, smartphones, drones, etc.
Users can never go wrong with SSDs, as fewer moving parts mean that it is less likely to break, unlike HDDs that are prone to corruption and malfunctioning, especially under extreme or rough conditions. Solid-State Drives are reliable, durable, fast, and everything a storage device must be, now available for users widely.
