While there are two major types of computer hard drives, solid state and magnetic, they both do the same thing. They store data. A common misconception is that since solid state drives cannot be physically moved they are always more expensive than regular magnetic hard disks, but this is false. This article will go over the differences between these two types of disk storage along with some tips on how to compare prices for solid state drives. Solid state drives are exactly what they sound like. A solid state drive has no physical moving parts, unlike magnetic hard disks. Because of this they are way faster than regular hard disks and also have significantly less failure rate. Solid state drives come in many different shapes and sizes but the ones used for desktop computers are generally 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch, which will connect to a SATA port on the motherboard with a cable much like an optical drive would connect to a SATA port on the motherboard via cable. Once connected to the motherboard it can be booted from just like any other internal hard disk would be able to be booted from, this is both good and bad. Good because it is very easy to replace, but bad because it could be confusing to boot from something that you pull out of your computer instead of your regular hard disk that is in there all along. Heads up! This type of hard drive can only be installed in a computer case with an opening for a screw-in hard drive, otherwise they are too large to fit inside the case. You can't install them inside your computer case any other way.Magnetic drives are the most common type of hard drives used in desktop computers since they're relatively cheap compared to solid state drives and also much less complicated than solid state drives. A normal magnetic drive will have a regular 3. 5-inch hard drive on the inside, but will have a different case. The case for this type of hard drives is important because it will dictate how many solid state drives can fit inside of the computer case. Since the majority of magnetic hard drives are physically smaller than solid state drives you will be able to fit more of them into your computer case at one time, which can save you money if you're looking for that many total storage space. For example, most 2TB external USB 3.0 hard drive cases will only fit one 2TB external hard drive at a time but most 3.5-inch internal magnetic hard disk cases can fit two HDDs or two SSDs at once. Because of how magnetic hard drives are, they are much easier to install into your computer. They are the same size as a solid state drive, but will have a screw hole on the back to mount them into your computer case using 4 screws. All in all, both hard drives are about the same price for around 1TB of storage right now at retail stores like Best Buy or Staples. What's most important to look for is whether or not you need more than 1TB of storage space and if you do get a solid state drive, otherwise get a magnetic one!
