What types of hard drives are there and how do they differ?
The most important hard disk types at a glance:
- HDD (Hard Disk Drive): Proven magnetic storage technology, high capacities, attractive price-performance ratio.
- SSD (Solid State Drive): Flash-based storage, fast access times, shock-resistant and quiet.
- Hybrid hard disks: Combine HDD and SSD technology for balanced performance.
- Enterprise HDD/SSD: Specially developed for continuous operation and high loads in servers and data centers.
| Feature | HDD (Hard Disk Drive) | SSD (Solid State Drive) |
| Technology | mechanical magnetic disks | Flash memory (without mechanics) |
| Speed | medium to high | very high |
| Robustness | sensitive to shocks | very robust, no moving parts |
| Capacity | very high (up to 20TB and more) | high, but usually lower than HDD |
| Price | inexpensive per GB | higher per GB |
| Area of application | Archiving, mass storage | Operating system, databases, VMs |
Which interfaces and designs are relevant?
Below you will find an overview of the most common variants of new, used and refurbished hard disks and their areas of application.
- SATA hard disk: Widely used, ideal for desktops, notebooks and servers.
- SAS hard disk: For professional server and storage systems with high requirements.
- NVMe SSD: Extremely fast data transfer via PCIe, ideal for high-performance applications.
- Form factors: 2.5 inch (mobile/server), 3.5 inch (desktop/storage), M.2 and U.2 (ultra-compact for SSDs).
SATA hard disks offer a good price-performance ratio and are compatible in almost all systems.
What to look out for when buying hard disks?
When choosing a hard disk (used, refurbished or new), you should consider the following criteria:
- Capacity: The amount of storage required depends on the intended use. Enterprise HDDs with high capacities of 4TB to 18TB are recommended for large amounts of data, while SSDs are ideal for fast data access.
- Interface: SATA is the most common interface, but SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) or NVMe also offer higher data transfer rates and are required in high-end servers and storage systems.
- Speed: The speed (revolutions per minute) of HDDs influences the read and write speeds. For faster requirements, SSDs or NVMe-based solutions offer the necessary speed.
- Intended use: Decide whether the hard disk should be used for servers, workstations or as an external solution.
