[Pw_forum] SATA vs SAS

[siddheshwar chopra]

Dear Sir,
I just want to participate in this good discussion. I read somewhere that
Solid State Hard Disk has LESSER write times than a normal HDD. Yes
undoubtedly it is the fastest we have in the market with low power
consumption and zero mechanical failure risk, but at the cost of shorter
lives and more money.
Any comments welcome..

Regards,
