Solid-State Drives (SSDs) Quiz

A solid-state drive (SSD) is a solid-state storage device that uses integrated circuit assemblies to store data persistently, typically using flash memory, and functions as secondary storage in the hierarchy of computer storage.

It is also sometimes called a semiconductor storage device, a solid-state device, or a solid-state disk.

SSDs lack the physical spinning disks and movable read–write heads used in hard disk drives (HDDs) and floppy disks.
