An SSD, or solid-state drive, is a data storage device that uses flash memory to store data and operate without any moving mechanical parts. Unlike traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) that use spinning magnetic platters to store and read data, SSDs have no moving parts which allows them to work faster and more quietly than conventional HDDs. https://aishnavicmi.livepositively.com/understanding-the-advantages-of-solid-state-drives/new=1
