Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) use spinning platters and read/write heads to access data. They have slower access times due to mechanical movements. Solid-State Drives (SSDs) use flash memory chips and have no moving parts, resulting in much faster access times and better durability. SSDs are generally more expensive per GB compared to HDDs, but they offer improved performance and reliability, making them ideal for operating systems and frequently accessed files.
