What are Storage drives?

A storage drive is an computing hardware storing,porting and extracting your data files and documents. These can Store your data either temproraly or permanantly,and can also send data either internaly or externaly to the computer or laptop.
A Storage drive can also be said , the hardware that stores data in your computer is called storage drives.
There are two types of storage drives:
1. HDD: HDD stands for hard disk drive that is fixed storage hardware that uses the magnetic storage to store and retrive the digital data through other computing storage devices such as USB. HDDs are type of non- volatile storage through this the device retain stored data even when powered off. The Primary characteristics of an HDD are it's CAPACITY and PERFORMANCE. CAPACITY is specified in unit prefixes corresponding to the storage about 1000GB(1 TERABYTE) that's was a least.
2. SSD: SSD stands for Solid State Drive and is a software that uses integrated circuit assemblies that stores data persistently typically using flash memory and functioning as secondary storage in Hierarchy of computer storage. these are newer types of disk drive which consists of individual memory cells that store data in byte which acessible by user
Which drive is faster HDD or SSD?
SSD is much faster than HDD are old technology and SSD is newer one so it have more advanced features than HDD and give you faster performance .
Copying and moving huge files (such as movies) is where the difference is most apparent. On old-school HDDs, the copying process takes 30-150 MB per second (MB/s), where the same action takes about 500 MB/s on normal SSD, or even 3,000-3,500 MB/s on new NVME SSDs. In this example, copying a 20 GB movie is complete in less than 10 seconds with an SSD, while a hard disk would need at least two minutes.
Most of the time when we run windows or any OS on your browseryhere are actually thousand of manipulating files that are stored insmall blocks(usually stored at 4K. SSD drives can open and read these files faster than HDD.
With HDDs, the speed ranges from 0.1 to 1.7 megabytes per second (MB/s). SSDs and NVME SSDs, however, operate at much faster speeds of 50-250 MB/s in 4K reads/writes.
What are their lifespan?
A Hard Drive's Life Span is about (3-5) years
Generally speaking, you can rely on your hard drive for three to five years on average. The online backup company Back Blaze analysed the failure rates of their 25,000 running hard drives. They found that 90% of hard drives survive for three years, and 80% for four years.
SSD Lifespan- there are lots of myths that SSD lifespan is less. yes, that was true in early years of 2000s.It is true that SSD cells have a limited lifespan, but today this is not really an issue. first ,SSD lifespan was less as it have two cell that survives around 3,000 write cycles which does not sounds good . As technology changed the storage drive expert put an additinal features to SSD is that whenever their cell's life end it automatically took out dead cell and put the the spare cell present in the core.
SO, Nowdays, their is no less lifespan issue with SSD. Upgrading TO an SSD to pc makes it a great sense
Which has more storage capacity?
HDD has more storage capacity than SDD. As we now that HDDis removable while SSD is a integrated storage device. HDD is much cheaper than SSD and give slow performance than SSD bit comes in massive storages

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PRICE:
As HDD is cheaper Becuase it provide low level performance whereas SSD Provide high level performance and is costlier than HDD.A 1TB internal 2.5-inch hard drive costs between $40 and $60, but as of this writing, the very cheapest SSDs of the same capacity and form factor start at around $125. That translates into 4 to 6 cents per gigabyte for the hard drive versus 13 cents per gigabyte for the SSD. Since hard drives use older, more established technology
Our higher recommendation is to buy a mixed system with HDD mass storage and an SSD boot drive for your Windows 10 install. This way you'll get a balance of price, performance, and space, and you'll have a well-equiped machine for all times.
