Why solid-state disks are winning the argument

Re: Too many words

because they're faster. Next question please.

Also more shockproof

Also quieter (silent)

Also less heavy

Also longer battery life, or even less weight by using a smaller battery.

edit:

Also, with dense-packed equipment in a server farm, less electricity eaten and less expensive air-con needed.

Don't know, but also suspect SSDs happier at high ambient temperatures than HDs (industrial/ embedded PCs)
