This Product Selection Guide contains information to help select products in the Solid State Drives (SSDs), Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) category on DigiKey.com
Products in this family provide non-volatile bulk data storage for use in embedded, industrial, and consumer applications and include products based both on solid-state semiconductor technology as well as the more traditional magnetic disk. Devices in form factors common to desktop and laptop computers are available as well as devices in chip or module form, with a variety of interfaces including ATA, SATA, PATA, and NVMe.
SelectionCharacteristics
Memory Size: The total amount of data storage capacity provided.
Memory Type: The specific type or technology of memory used.
Form Factor: Indicates a standard mechanical/electrical interface scheme to which a device conforms, if any.
Speed - Read: The advertised maximum rate at which data can be retrieved from a device.
Speed - Write: The advertised maximum rate at which data can be written to a device.
Voltage - Supply: Typically represented by a range, this indicates the low and high voltage limits which one can expect standard operation. Voltages outside this range may damage the device and other system components.
Type: The interface used to connect the storage device.
Current - Max: This rating indicates the nominal amount of current you would expect the device to draw during normal operation.
Operating Temperature: Recommended operating temperature, typically given in a range or as a maximum. Exceeding these temperatures may affect performance or damage the device and other system components.
Weight: The physical weight of the device.
Size / Dimension: The physical dimensions of the device. Typically listed as length by width by height.
