SSDs are very small in size.

Flash memory SSD, which has no moving parts, hence SSD is faster than HDD.

[{"selector":"#anim-5b9a2ec7-22ca-462b-94f8-f368d7d18843","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a304cf1f-ae7e-4476-8989-4fb66f52e7c0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.09434%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-54c06463-8cd5-4dbf-b098-6084e72337ba [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Compared to HDD, the transfer rate and access time of SSD is much faster.

[{"selector":"#anim-ae63cee6-947e-4a89-bb9a-582fab9e7f50","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-354f996d-0fe9-49f5-940d-b33367d83420","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.46541%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a813ca65-beb4-466c-9ac5-b74450e0eff9 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.251627773021507%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

It uses less energy than HDD.
