The Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) have magnetic disks that spin at over 7000rpm while a read/write head hovers over them to do the job. Cons: moving parts, mechanical faults, lower speed, power consumption, heat and all that can bring the performance down and increase the carbon footprint ( these days anything can be measured by its impact on the environment ).
Enter Solid State Drives (SDDs) which do not have any moving parts and thus 'eliminate spin-up time, and greatly reduce seek time, latency, and other delays inherent in electromechanical disks.' -wikipedia.
I am sure these are going to find its place in enterprise servers, data centers and storage solutions before they get to desktops. But this technology is HOT and will remain so for some time.
