5 Questions
What is a solid-state drive (SSD)?
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.
What are some other names for a solid-state drive (SSD)?
It is also sometimes called a semiconductor storage device, a solid-state device, or a solid-state disk.
How do solid-state drives (SSDs) differ from hard disk drives (HDDs) and floppy disks?
SSDs lack the physical spinning disks and movable read–write heads used in hard disk drives (HDDs) and floppy disks.
What are some advantages of solid-state drives (SSDs) over hard disk drives and similar electromechanical media?
SSDs are typically more resistant to physical shock, run silently, and have higher input/output rates and lower latency.
How does the internal parallelism of solid-state drives (SSDs) contribute to their data processing capability?
SSD also has rich internal parallelism for data processing.
