Can we put more than one SSD in same motherboard?

 What is an SSD and how does it works?

 

A solid –state drive or an SSD is solid state storage device that uses integrated circuit assemblies to store data persistently. An integrated circuit is a set of electronic circuit on one small flat piece of a semiconductor material, usually silicon. Integrated circuit is also referred to as an IC, a chip, or a microchip. SSD typically uses flash memory, and functioning as external memory or secondary memory.  Sometimes SSD is also known as semiconductor storage devices. In starting computers were come only with HHD which stands for Hard Disk Drive. It is a fixed disk electromechanical data storage device that store and retrieve digital data with one or more rigid rapid rotating platter coated with magnetic material. The platters are paired with magnetic heads, usually arranged on a moving actuator arm, which read and write data to the platter surfaces. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored and retrieved in any order.

 

Hard Disk Drives (HDD)

Making a comparison between SSDs and ordinary (spinning) HDDs is difficult. Traditional HDD benchmarks tend to focus on the performance characteristics that are poor with HDDs, such as rotational latency and seek time. As SSDs do not need to spin or seek to locate data, they may prove vastly superior to HDDs in such tests. Most of the advantages of solid-state drives over traditional hard drives are due to their ability to access data completely electronically instead of electromechanically, resulting in superior transfer speeds and mechanical ruggedness.

Can we put more than one SSD in same motherboard ?

Today, almost all laptops come with either a dedicated SSD, a M.2 SSD slot +HDD combination or a hybrid drive that can take both. Even if your laptop does not have a dedicated SSD slot, you may install a SSD drive using a caddy in the Optical Drive slot. Generally one laptop or computer comes with single SSD but you can modify your laptop by replacing your hard disk drive ( HDD) by solid state drive (SSD). For this you have to choose a computer with HDD and SSD slots. In other word Sure. Just like you can have more than one HDD hard drive in your computer running off the motherboard. Or you can plug in more than USB thumb drive and use them at the same time. Or you can connect more than external drive and use them at the same time. An SSD is no different then any of those devices. The only limitation might be whether your motherboard has more than one of the connectors you need for the SSD drive. Most will have more than one SATA connector, so you can connect more than one SATA SSD drive. But it the system board does not have more than one M2 connector for NVMe SSD drives, you would be limited to only one drive.

Can an SSD suddenly fail?

SSDs have very different failure modes from traditional magnetic hard drives. Because solid-state drives contain no moving parts, they are generally not subject to mechanical failures. Instead, other kinds of failure are possible (for example, incomplete or failed writes due to sudden power failure can be more of a problem than with HDDs, and if a chip fails then all the data on it is lost, a scenario not applicable to magnetic drives). On the whole, however, studies have shown that SSDs are generally highly reliable, and often continue working far beyond the expected lifetime as stated by their manufacturer. SSD drives are designed to sustain multiple overwrites of its entire capacity. Manufacturers warrant their drives for hundreds or even thousands complete overwrites. The Total Bytes Written (TBE) parameter grows with each generation, yet we've seen multiple SSD drives fail significantly sooner than expected.
