Solid-state drives (SSDs)

Solid-state drives (SSDs) are a type of storage device used in computers and laptops. Unlike traditional hard drives that use spinning disks to save data, SSDs store information on flash memory chips. This technology allows for faster data access, leading to quicker boot times and faster file transfers. SSDs are more durable because they have no moving parts, making them less susceptible to damage from bumps or drops. While they can be more expensive than traditional hard drives, their speed and reliability often make them a preferred choice for both everyday users and professionals.
