Advanced Microprocessor || Lecture 13 - Storage Units (HDD vs SSD)

During the lecture, an audio segment was played at timestamp (1:10:00) the audio available here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11BS3... In this lecture, our professor examines the role of storage units—Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) and Solid-State Drives (SSDs)—across diverse computing environments. The lecture begins with a comparison of HDD and SSD technologies, highlighting differences in mechanical design, access latency, throughput, and reliability. The discussion then shifts to data centers, where storage scalability, energy efficiency, and performance trade-offs are analyzed, with emphasis on how SSDs enable high-speed workloads while HDDs remain cost-effective for large-scale archival. In the context of user devices, the lecture explores how SSDs enhance responsiveness and portability compared to traditional HDDs. Finally, edge devices are considered, focusing on the importance of compact, durable, and energy-efficient storage solutions to support IoT and real-time applications. This lecture provides a rigorous foundation for understanding how HDD and SSD technologies are deployed strategically across computing layers to balance performance, cost, and reliability.
