Hard Disk Drives (HDD) are still the most commonly used type of hard drive. This is because they are relatively inexpensive when compared to the newer solid-state drives (SSD). In comparison, you can purchase an one terabyte (TB/1024GB) HDD for the same price as a 64GB SSD. For the same price you get approximately 93% more store space. However, HDDs are much slower than SSDs are. When purchasing a HDD, 7200RPM and 16MB of cache (larger drives have larger caches) is recommended. Faster, 10,000RPM drives are also available; however, keep in mind they are often noticeably noisy. | Hard Disk Drives (HDD) are still the most commonly used type of hard drive.
