Shock Resistance

What is Shock Resistance?

Shock resistance refers to the ability of a storage device to withstand physical shocks or impacts without sustaining damage.

In general, SSDs are more shock-resistant than HDDs, as they have no moving parts that can be damaged by sudden movements or impacts. SSDs are also typically designed to be more durable overall, with higher resistance to physical shocks and vibration. HDDs, on the other hand, are more susceptible to physical damage due to their mechanical components, such as the spinning disks and read/write heads. While they do have shock sensors that can help to prevent damage in some cases, they are generally less durable than SSDs. Overall, the higher shock resistance of SSDs makes them a better choice for applications that require a high degree of durability and resistance to physical shocks. However, HDDs may still be a more cost-effective option for applications that do not require high performance or extreme durability.
