Solid State Drives vs. Hard Disk Drives

Excel in speed, high performance, Input/Output requirements.
High reliability due to lack of spinning disks.
Go through a rigorous validation process before they are ever considered as additions to the PowerEdge server portfolio.

HDD

Best when used as part of a complete storage strategy that balances cost per gigabyte, capacity, application needs and performance.
Lower price-to-capacity, which can be most beneficial for large-capacity workloads or applications requiring large amounts of storage used for data such as archives, disk backups, image libraries or logs.
