FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -An SSD, or solid-state drive, is a type of storage device used in computers. This non-volatile storage media stores persistent data on solid-state flash memory. SSDs replace traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) in computers and perform the same basic functions as a hard drive.

Detailed explanation-2: -No. They use NAND flash memory which comes in the form of eMMC, Universal Flash Storage (UFS) or PCI Express NVMe (in the case of Apple devices).

Detailed explanation-3: -Hard drives are still around in budget and older systems, but SSDs are now the rule in mainstream systems and high-end laptops like the Apple MacBook Pro, which does not offer a hard drive even as a configurable option. Desktop PCs, on the other hand, continue to offer HDDs.

Detailed explanation-4: -Since an SSD has no moving parts, they need less power to operate compared to an HDD with a magnetic spinning disk. Energy efficiency is a big benefit in using an SSD when it comes to PC and mobile devices where battery longevity is a highly marketable and asked-for feature.

Detailed explanation-5: -Have you ever asked yourself, what is a solid state drive? Portable SSDs are just like internal SSDs but are portable, durable, convenient, and universally compatible. That means no matter your hobby or profession, Crucial portable SSDs are compatible with almost any system or device.
