    Solid-state drives (SSDs) use integrated circuit assemblies instead of spinning disks to store data persistently. SSDs have several advantages over traditional hard disk drives (HDDs), including faster read/write speeds, lower power consumption, less noise, and lighter weight. However, SSDs currently have a higher cost per gigabyte than HDDs. SSDs are either DRAM-based and volatile but very fast, or flash-based using NAND memory that is non-volatile but slower than DRAM. Modern flash controllers have improved the speed of flash-based SSDs.

    What is Solid State Drive (SSD)


    A solid-state drive (SSD)
    (aka solid-state disk though
    it contains no actual disk,
    nor a drive motor to spin a
    disk) is a solid-state
    storage device that uses
    integrated
    circuit
    assemblies as memory to
    store data persistently.

    Speed is slower than DRAM solutions, even slower than HDDs in
    early designs.
    This problem was resolved by NAND flash controllers that came
    out in 2009 and later.
