![]() But there’s significantly less need to do that with SSDs. Hard drives traditionally have occasional failures that require you to whisk one out of a PC and replace it with a new unit–simply a function of their high-speed moving parts design. Instead of a peripheral to the PC the drive would be seen as an integral part of the memory, acting as “long term memory.” It could even utilize the fast access offered by the modern PCI-express bus, improving stored data access times and speeding up the operation of the entire machine. By integrating the SSD NAND chips into a PC design from the get-go, you’d abolish the need for the legacy connector with its wires and sockets, and remove the need to use an old-fashioned and potential non-optimal input-output standard. But though it’s a faster connection than PATA, it’s still a legacy standard designed for hard drives. Current SSDs are generally connected with Serial ATA cables, a modern 8-pin serial data replacement to the older parallel AT Attachment connectors that required bulky 80-pin wires and have a legacy going back to 1986. ![]()
