TASK 2
Difference Between
SSD & HDD
SSD (Solid State Drive)
1.Less power draw, averages 2 – 3 watts, resulting in 30+ minute battery boost
2.Expensive, roughly Rs20 per gigabyte (based on buying a 1TB drive)
3.Typically not larger than 1TB for notebook size drives; 4TB max for desktops
4.Around 10-13 seconds average bootup time
5.There are no moving parts and as such no sound
6.No vibration as there are no moving parts
7.Lower power draw and no moving parts so little heat is produce
8.Mean time between failure rate of 2.0 million hours
9.Generally above 200 MB/s and up to 550 MB/s for cutting edge drives
10.Up to 30% faster than HDD
11.An SSD is safe from any effects of magnetism
HDD (Hard Disk Drive)
1.More power draw, averages 6 – 7 watts and therefore uses more battery
2.Only around Rs3 per gigabyte, very cheap (buying a 4TB model)
3.Typically around 500GB and 2TB maximum for notebook size drives; 10TB max for desktops
4.Around 30-40 seconds average bootup time
5.Audible clicks and spinning can be heard
6.The spinning of the platters can sometimes result in vibration
7.HDD doesn’t produce much heat, but it will have a measurable amount more heat than an
8.Mean time between failure rate of 1.5 million hours
9.The range can be anywhere from 50 – 120MB / s
10.Slower than SSD
11.Magnets can erase data

TASK 3
Difference between Core
I3,i5,i7,i9
1.Core™ i3: Everyday users – web browsing, Word and media streaming
If you’re after a laptop for everyday computing tasks like web browsing, video streaming and
