Desktop or PC Hard Disks are vital components for desktop computers, offering storage for your operating system, applications, and files. There are two main types of hard disks used in desktops: Hard Disk Drives (HDD) and Solid-State Drives (SSD). These drives vary in terms of speed, storage capacity, and price.

At TAKASHI, we offer both HDDs and SSDs for desktop computers, catering to your storage needs with top-quality products.

Types of Desktop Hard Disks:

1. Hard Disk Drives (HDD) for Desktop PCs

• Description: HDDs store data on spinning disks (platters). They are slower than SSDs but typically offer much higher storage capacities for a lower price.
• Common Sizes: 3.5-inch form factor (standard for desktops)
• Storage Capacities: 500GB, 1TB, 2TB, 4TB, 6TB, 8TB, 10TB
• Speed: 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM (higher RPM means faster data transfer speeds)
• Price: More affordable compared to SSDs for larger storage capacities.
• Best for: Users needing large storage space for media, games, and files but don’t require high-speed performance.
• Pros:
  • Higher capacity at lower cost.
  • Suitable for mass storage (e.g., movies, large files, and games).
• Cons:
  • Slower data transfer speeds.
  • Prone to mechanical failure due to moving parts.

2. Solid-State Drives (SSD) for Desktop PCs

• Description: SSDs use NAND flash memory to store data, offering faster speeds than HDDs because they have no moving parts.
• Common Sizes: 2.5-inch (for desktops), M.2 (smaller form factor)
• Storage Capacities: 120GB, 240GB, 500GB, 1TB, 2TB
• Speed: SSDs offer much faster read/write speeds compared to HDDs, often reaching 500MB/s to 3500MB/s for SATA and NVMe models.
• Price: More expensive per GB than HDDs but prices have been decreasing steadily.
• Best for: Users who prioritize faster boot times, application load speeds, and overall system performance.
• Pros:
  • Extremely fast data transfer speeds.
  • More durable than HDDs due to no moving parts.
  • Quieter and more energy-efficient.
• Cons:
  • Higher cost per GB than HDDs.
  • Smaller storage capacities (though larger options are becoming more affordable).

3. Hybrid Drives (SSHD) for Desktop PCs

• Description: A Hybrid Drive is a combination of both an HDD and an SSD. The SSD portion stores frequently used data for faster access, while the HDD portion offers larger storage space.
• Common Sizes: 3.5-inch (standard for desktops)
• Storage Capacities: 1TB, 2TB, 4TB
• Speed: Faster than a standard HDD but slower than a pure SSD.
• Price: Typically more affordable than SSDs while offering better performance than HDDs.
• Best for: Users who need more storage space without compromising on some level of performance.
• Pros:
  • Combines the speed of SSD with the large capacity of HDD.
  • More affordable than pure SSD storage.
• Cons:
  • Not as fast as SSDs in terms of overall speed.
  • May not provide the same reliability and durability as SSDs.
