Advantech - Why are SSDs more power-efficient than HDDs?

Create Date: 2024-8-30 12:03:23|Source: Advantech/Advantech

At present, the mainstream hard disks are mainly divided into: HDD (Hard Disk Drive), which is a mechanical hard disk, and SSD (Solid Disk Drive), which is a solid state drive. In terms of power consumption, SSDs have better performance than HDDs, so what causes them?

01 The proliferation of solids will emit less carbon dioxide

The advantages of solid state in terms of energy consumption can save more power in data exchange, and Agrade industrial SSDs are stable and reliable, and data is not easy to lose, which can reduce the energy consumption required for data storage and transmission, and reduce carbon emissions.

02 Differences in power consumption due to different structures

When the mechanical hard disk reads and writes data, the disk platter inside the hard disk needs to run at high speed, and this mechanical structure is destined to have a large power consumption.

03 Huge gap in energy consumption ratio between standby and working conditions

HDD is in standby mode, because the disk platter is always running, so the power consumption is still much greater than that of SSD. Standby power consumption can be understood as the power consumption required to store data, and hard disks are very common to transmit data in addition to storing data. This is the power consumption in the working state, such as booting and loading the system, editing and loading video, game loading models, etc., in this process, the hard disk is transmitting data at full load. HDD disks are always running, and SSDs are composed of flash memory chips, without the same head as HDDs, the natural energy consumption will be much less.
