Detailed explanation-1: -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 functioning as secondary storage in the hierarchy of computer storage.
Detailed explanation-2: -Solid state is also used as external secondary storage, for example in USB memory sticks and solid state drives. One of the major benefits of solid state storage is that is has no moving parts. Because of this, it is more portable, and produces less heat compared to traditional magnetic storage devices.
