What are the differences between HDD and SSD storage types?

[henryjack34533]

HDDs (Hard Disk Drives) like the IBM 59H4364 use spinning disks to read/write data, offering large storage capacities at a lower cost but with slower read/write speeds and higher power consumption. SSDs (Solid State Drives) use flash memory, providing faster data access, lower power consumption, and greater durability, but generally at a higher cost per GB.
