The two main differences are reliability and speed. As there are no moving parts, the SSD's are less likely to break down and the fact there are no moving parts means that file access is faster.

Going by the large difference in price I assume there must be one but when I can buy a HD disc for less than £50 whereas a SSD disc will cost around £200 I wonder if the advantages will be worth the extra cost. Many thanks Roger
