Why are SSD’s not affected by magnetic fields?
Because they have no moving parts and don’t rely on magnetic properties
Name 3 main benefits of SSD’s compared to HDD’S
[]they are more reliable, being less susceptible to shock and damage as they have no moving parts []they are considerably lighter (which makes them suitable tor laptops, tablets and other modern devices) []they have faster access times than HDDs because they don’t have to wait for the head to move and for the drive to spin []they have lower power consumption []they run much cooler than HDDs (both these points also make them very suitable for laptop computers) []because they have no moving parts, they can be very thin.
Give examples of some devices solid state technology is used in?
Memory sticks and memory drives and internal solid state
What are the key features in such devices like memory cards and memory sticks which need to be portable?
Small-size non-volatile memory and reliability and have minimum drain on internal batteries
