Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Single-level cells (SLCs) are the most expensive form of SSD, but are also the fastest and most durable. Multi-level cells (MLCs) can hold two bits of data per cell and have a larger amount of storage space in the same amount of physical space as a SLC.

Detailed explanation-2: -Solid-state storage (SSS) is a method of data storage accomplished by using integrated circuit devices to store data rather than moving magnetic or optical media. SSS is typically non-volatile and may take various forms, such as a solid-state drive, solid-state card or solid-state module.

Detailed explanation-3: -If you’re looking purely from a numbers standpoint, averages indicate an SSD can last about 20 years, whereas an HDD will last about six. However, these are numbers aren’t set in stone, and you may need to replace your HDD or SSD more or less often depending on a number of factors.
