[Discuss] SSD drives vs. Mechanical drives

[Jerry Feldman]

I have seen some competing posts on other forums
SSD drives are certainly lighter and faster than mechanical hard drives.
The comment on Windows Boston that has no figures to back up his claim
is that the SSD drives actually are less power efficient than mechanical
hard drives because of their additional reliance on the CPU. And
certainly SSD drives are more expensive.

It would be interesting to see some pros and cons.
