They want to attack “low-hanging fruit,” which in the Internet world now means the least protected data and assets from smaller businesses—that, generally, have little or no security expertise on staff.”
The SSD Advantage
By now you have likely heard of the term SSD, which stands for Solid State Drive and replaced the traditional old school spinning platter hard drive. The old school hard drives used a spinning platter and wrote and read the data based on the speed the hard drive could locate the data spinning on that drive, so ideally the faster the RPM the faster your drive. With
SSD’s we are non-moving memory system, that effectively acts like a USB drive, but much more powerful and bigger.
The upside of the new technology is it is fast, and I mean very fast. Often times we see a performance of 30% or better on the PC, and will cut the average boot up time from 40 seconds down to 22. The downside is that they are still costly and get to be very costly at larger sizes, normal SSD come in only 512 gb, where standard drives are 2 TB. Another handy upside is that the SSD is extremely quiet due to the lack of moving parts. A SSD actually draws less power from your system as well.
