What are the characteristics of SSD's?
The following are the characteristics of SSD's:
- Start-up Time: SSD have almost nil startup times as they have no mechanical parts which are to be readied for use.
- Random Access Times: Since the data is accessed directly from the flash memory it is almost lag free.
- Read Latency time: The read latency times for SSD are very low as data can be accessed and used from anywhere in the flash memory.
- Data transfer rates: The data transfer rates for SSD's is between 100-500 Mb`s/sec.
- Fragmentation: Fragmentation is irrelevant for SSD's .
- Noise: As SSD have no moving parts they have literally zero noise footprint.
