Short for Solid-State Drive or Solid-State Disk,
SSD is a type of storage that uses
non-volatile memory as a means of storing and accessing
data. Unlike other storage devices such as
hard disk drives, an SSD has no
moving parts, which gives it advantages such as: fast at
accessing stored information, produces no noise, much more
reliable, and consume much less power then the traditional hard
drive found in computers. Unfortunately however because of the
much greater cost per GB of storing
information these drives have not yet become suitable solutions
for replacing a standard computer's hard disk drive. However, are a great solution for netbooks, nettops, and other applications that don't require several hundred GB of space.
