Solid State Disk (SSD)
The Solid-State Drive (SSD) is a modern, high-performance storage device that stores and retrieves data using non-volatile flash memory. Unlike a traditional Hard Disk Drive (HDD), an SSD has no moving parts, which gives it significant advantages in speed, durability, and power consumption. This lack of mechanical components is what solid-state refers to.
