SanDisk SSD: A More Reliable Alternative to the Laptop HDD

Overview In contrast, durability is at the top of the list of SanDisk SSD benefits. With no spinning disks or read/write head arms that must move over these disks to locate files, the SSD is immune from the most common HDD failure, a head crash, which can lead to partial and even total data loss. It is much less likely to fail in outdoor temperatures and conditions of vibration and shock when, for instance, the notebook computer accidentally falls. SanDisk performed vibration testing in an independent lab on the SanDisk SSD 5000 and a popular HDD, using the HD Tach benchmark.
