Say goodbye to your old hard drive - Just Upgrade to SSD.

You may have started feeling by now that your Laptop or Desktop is getting slower in performance or its older than 3~4 years and you need to change it. But you had invested a lot in your equipment and don't want it to sell it as scrap. 

You now have an option to upgrade your old HDD to SSD and get blazing high speed performance from your old computer. SSD are now available in size of 250 GB, 500 GB up to 4TB.

Our team at Rational Systems Pvt. Ltd. offer you complete range of SSD Drives available from Samsung & WD.

What is a SSD?

A Solid State Drive (SSD) is a High Performance data storage device that uses flash memory chips as in USB drives, smartphones, and memory cards. There are no moving parts present on the SSD and keeps the data safe.

Advantages of SSD

• Durability: Since the SSD does not have any moving parts, it keeps the data safe in an event of lany physical abuse or dropping the device. Unlike a mechanical HDD, which in event of shock, can causes repairable damage, a SSD has the ability to withstand and handle physical abuse better (like dropping the laptop bag). Due to absence of the moving parts it also means that there is less occurrence of wear and tear in a SSD. Further, there is no mechanical failure in SSD meaning higher reliability. The SSD is lighter than a HDD and is resistant to shock and temperature changes.
  ​
• Less Power Consumption: A solid state drive consumes very less power when compared to a regular HDD. This is primarily because a SSD does not have any moving parts; as it does not have a motor. This is useful in storage computers and laptops where the power requirement is minimal. High-performance flash-based SSD requires almost to one third of HDD power.
  
  
• High Performance Reading / Writing Speed: Solid state drives have faster reading / writing speed. With a SSD, data reading and writing to flash memory chips occur instantly in a SSD, allowing the SSDs to have better reading and writing speeds.
  
  
• Permanent Deletion of Data: This feature is highly useful for people and situations where data security is highly cardinal. When data is overwritten or deleted on a HDD, there is a chance of recovery. As data is not completely erased from regular HDD, there exists a chance for some old data to remain. On a SSD, data is deleted permanently leaving no minute traces of the old data.
  
  
• Less Noise: SSD produces less noise because it uses computer chips and not moving parts. Since it is non-mechanical, there is no noise.
  
  
• Faster Boot and Better Computing Performance: SSDs allow faster booting of computers as compared to normal HDD's.
  
  
• Less Heat: Because solid state drives lack motors, they generate less heat unlike HDDs. 

Disadvantages of SSD

SSD had many advantages, there are certain disadvantages too.
​

• Price: The main disadvantage of a solid state drive is the cost. SSD costs more than a conventional hard disk drive. But the prices are coming down as users have started adapting this new technology with SSD.
  
  
• Recovery of Lost Data: The inability to recover old data is one of the biggest disadvantages of a SSD. Data is permanently and completely deleted from the drives. But it is an advantage in terms of data security, still, permanent data deletion could lead to irreparable consequences in certain events where there is no back-up for deleted data.
  
  
• Life Expectancy: Some of the solid state drives especially those using NAND memory-flash chips can be written only for a limited number of time. Whereas, solid state dives using DRAM technology do not come with such a limitation, ad it costs more.
  
  
• Write/Erase Cycle: The SSD write/erase cycle is limited. A HDD can stand upto 1 to 5 million write cycles, whereas, a SSD averages 100,000 cycles, meaning decrease in the SSD performance over time. This limitation in write cycles causes more trouble. Whereas, on conventional hard disk drives data can be deleted and rewritten for unlimited number of times.
