Why does SSD storage load much faster than HDD storage?
In: Technology
In addition to what everyone else has said, the SSD can send multiple electrical signals in parallel to access a large amount of data all at once. A HDD only has one (or rarely two) read heads so it can only read one (or two) things at a time. This is more relevant for reading/writing large blocks of data while the ‘no moving parts’ explanation is more relevant for smaller blocks of data.
