What is the fundamental difference between SSDs and HDDs in terms of data access?
SSDs use spinning platters while HDDs use solid-state memory.
SSDs have no moving parts, enabling faster access.
HDDs have higher storage capacity.
HDDs are more resistant to physical shock.
Explication
SSDs' lack of moving parts allows for immediate access, leading to faster read and write speeds.
