What's the difference between a mechanical hard drive and a solid-state drive?

The following are tested when the CPU is not fully loaded:

When copying data, the mechanical hard drive is running at a high speed, which may be the reason for the card.

I would like to ask, if the mechanical hard drive to replace the solid state drive will not appear this way

Also, for example, when playing Warcraft, there is a read progress bar, the speed of each computer is different, to replace the solid state drive will improve the situation; I only open a copy of Warcraft, the progress bar is very fast, if 3 open at the same time, read the progress bar becomes very slow. Is this also related to the hard drive?

Intel and SandForce control can reach more than 200mb/s. I just don't know. Seek time, i.e. average access time determines which aspect of the hard drive performance?

Yes, when loading game map data is basically directly from the hard disk to the memory read data, the hard drive determines the speed of reading, if the use of solid-state hard drive can fundamentally solve the situation of reading a slow. Game enthusiasts generally choose more than 64GB solid state drives, which can take care of the system and game disk use.

Using 40GB system partition, 24GB game partition. Such partitioning scheme can be very effective to improve the performance of the system, at the same time 24GB game zoning can be installed in any super large 3D games, loading speed is very ideal. The following is a set of comparison of the scene loading wait time in "Island Crisis 2".

The data processing capability of solid-state drives is largely determined by the quality of the master chip and flash particles that it uses, but there is a more significant reality problem. Need to know the working principle of SSD, solid-state hard disk is composed of master chip, hard disk cache granule and flash particle. The master chip controls how all of this data is stored and stored on that piece of grain. This determines the response speed of the hard disk, the flash particles are divided into MLC and SLC. SLC is faster than MLC, but the MLC price is relatively cheap.

Spotlight's hard drive relies on its own production of high-speed flash memory particles and high-speed master chip to achieve a second read faster than 400MB, and the price relative to other manufacturers are not much higher.
