2. SSD stands for Solid State Drive. You’re probably familiar with USB
memory sticks - SSD can be thought of as an oversized and more
sophisticated version of the humble USB memory stick. Like a memory
stick, there are no moving parts to an SSD. Rather, information is stored
in microchips.
A typical SSD uses what is called NAND-based flash memory.
This is a non-volatile type of memory which means you can turn off the
disk and it won’t “forget” what was stored on it.
You can read and write to an SSD all day long and the data storage
integrity will be maintained for well over 200 years. In other words, the
data storage life of an SSD can outlive you!
3. If you look at the images above you’ll see the top and undersides of a
typically-sized 2.5” SSD. The technology is encased inside either a plastic
or metal case and looks like nothing more than a battery.

5. To aid you even more, here are some rules to follow when you decide
which drive is best for you:
If :
1. You need lots of storage capacity, up to 4TB
2. Don’t want to spend much money
3. Don’t care too much about how fast a computer boots up or opens programs
- then get a hard drive (HDD).
If :
1. You are willing to pay for faster performance
2. Don’t mind limited storage capacity or can work around that - then get a
solid state drive (SSD).
