Traditional Hard Drives are fragile. They have a read/write head hovering nanometers above a spinning disk. If you drop your laptop while it's on, that head crashes into the disk like a car crash. Data lost.
SSDs are tough. You can shake them, drop them, or carry your laptop while running—your data is safe. They have no moving parts to break.
Why SSDs Last Longer
- Shock Resistance: Can withstand up to 1500G of force (vs 350G for HDD).
- Magnetic Safety: Unaffected by magnets that would wipe an HDD.
- Temperature: Operates safely in wider temperature ranges.
Ideal for Travelers
If you commute with your laptop in a backpack, every bump on the road is a risk to an HDD. An SSD eliminates that risk entirely.
