This is because SSDs have no moving parts, compared to larger, bulkier mechanical drives, thus they store information on memory chips. This means that accesses, reads and writes are many, many times faster

2TB WD Red SA500, 2.5" NAS SSD, SATA III 6Gb/s, 3D NAND, 560MB/s Read, 530MB/s, 95k/85k IOPS is rated 5.0 out of 5 by 1.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Solid 2TB Drive I purchased this to replace a failing Seagate FireCuda ST2000LX001-1RG174 within a RAID array. For me the most important point was an exact or bigger match on the drive capacity. A smaller capacity, even by only a few MB would have meant that the drive would be unusable for it's intended purpose. Switching to a SSD to improve performance was the other factor. I purchased the 2TB SATA 2.5" form factor (in case this review somehow shows beside other form factors). The raid array sits on a hypervisor running multiple KVM VM's. For those like me who appreciate how your system will see the drive. below are appropriate snippets from my kernel's boot log.
