SSDs – Explained
Solid-State drives are intended to store data and files just like hard drives. SSDs are connected with the system board using a SATA or NVMe interface. SSDs store your data, documents, and files just like any other storage media using nonvolatile NAND flash memory compared to its HDD counterparts that store data using magnetic platters and read/write heads. The absence of any mechanical or moving components distinguishes SSDs from conventional HDDs.
Samsung MZ-VPV1280 – 128GB M.2 SSD as the next-gen SSD
The Samsung MZ-VPV1280 – 128GB M.2 is a small form factor SSD that is designed to be attached to the system board using the NVMe interface on internal expansion cards. M.2 SSDs are intended to provide a high-performance storage medium in laptops consuming less power and occupying less space. M.2 SSDs like Samsung MZ-VPV1280 – 128GB M.2 can be used in laptops and tablets PCs. M.2 SSDs are smaller than 2.5-inch form factor SSDs that are designed to be used in desktops.
The M.2 SSDs were originally labeled as NGFF (Next-Generation Form Factor), but the name was altered to M.2 SSD. Samsung MZ-VPV1280 – 128GB M.2 SSD is the storage choice for users who are going to customize or upgrade their laptop PC to attain high performance in high-end workloads like gaming, 3D animation, or video editing tasks. If you are using 128GB SSD like Samsung MZ-VPV1280 – 128GB M.2 SSD you can enjoy the perks of faster performance of the NAND flash memory but it is advisable to deploy all your high-performing programs on SSD for smooth and faster operations and use at least 1TB of HDD in combination if you want to store heavy files like post-processing 4K videos or HD pictures.
The significant features of Samsung MZ-VPV1280 – 128GB M.2 SSD are:
- Interface – NVMe (PCIe Gen 3 x4) – 32GBps
- Capacity – 128GB
- Form factor – M.2
VNAND Flash Memory
Samsung MZ-VPV1280 – 128GB M.2 SSD possesses NAND memory that enables better performance and reduced access times. The presence of flash memory makes SSDs access the data much faster compared to mainstream HDDs as the fastest HDDs available for the consumer market are capable of performing read and write operations at the speed of 200MBS and accessing data in a few milliseconds. On the contrary, high-end SSDs like Samsung MZ-VPV1280 – 128GB M.2 SSD are able to read and write data at the remarkable rate of 2000MBps respectively with average access times as a fraction of a millisecond. In other words, SSDs for having NAND flash memory are developed to be used in a much faster PC that offers reduced response times and data access times, with quick boot cycles.
Longevity and Reliability
Another notable aspect of SSD is durability due to the absence of any mechanical components that make them less prone to damages or poor performances caused by vibrations or friction between internal parts. If you accidentally drop your desktop or laptop PC having mainstream HDD, the chances of you facing disc failure are much higher than someone having a system with more reliable damage-resistant SSDs. Samsung MZ-VPV1280 – 128GB M.2 SSD offers Endurance (TBW) of around 200 Terabytes which means 200TB is the total amount of data that this SSD is guaranteed to be able to erase and write within the warrantied time frame.
Choosing between HDD or SSD
As far as the downsides of disadvantages of having an SSD, stay clear that SSDs are not budget-friendly storage media like HDDs. A budget segment SSD with decent storage can cost you around $0.70 to $1.00 per GB, whereas you can procure HDDs for only a few cents per GB and it significantly makes a difference when it comes to bunch procurement and you can save a lot of your IT budget by choosing HDDs. SSDs are also surpassed by HDDs when it comes to capacity. Most SSDs usually offer storage around 128GB to 4TB storage capacity, whereas 128GB SSDs like Samsung MZ-VPV1280 – 128GB M.2 SSDs are mostly used by individuals in laptops due to their compact size (you cannot find much higher storage in M.2 FF due to its small form factor).
SSD performance decreases drastically as soon you start piling more data in your storage and it comes amidst performance-related issues with the increasing amount of data. That is why you may feel a need to regularly shift your unused files and data to HDDs.
SSDs are less prone to damages or failure than HDDs but in any unfortunate event, SSDs normally go wrong without giving any alert notifications and it is difficult to restore lost data from the ill-fated SSD. HDDs, on the other hand, usually start showing alert notifications if something goes wrong. But the chances of HDDs getting crashed are higher than SDDs.
Use Cases of SSDs
SSDs are mostly used in:
- Portable gadgets like smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc.
- Removable SDDs are often used in some top-notch 4K video cameras.
Advantages of SSDs
- Significantly better speed and performance than HDDs
- Smaller in size (2.5 inch FF or lesser when it comes to M.2) and lightweight, making it ideal for handheld devices
- The lack of any moving parts makes SSDs more durable and faster
- Require less power than HDDs and this increases the un plugged up times in laptops or tablets
- Generate no heat
Disadvantages of SSDs
● Not budget-friendly
- Compromised storage capacity due to compact size
