A Solid State Drive (SSD) is a type of storage device that uses flash memory to store data. Unlike traditional hard drives, which rely on spinning disks and moving parts, SSDs have no mechanical components. This makes them faster, more durable, and less prone to failure, allowing for quicker data access and improved overall performance in computers and other devices. SSDs are commonly used in laptops, desktops, and servers due to their speed and efficiency. They come in various shapes and sizes, including M.2 and 2.5-inch formats, making them versatile for different applications. As technology advances, SSDs continue to become more affordable and widely adopted.
