Solid State Drive (SSD): An Overview
A Solid State Drive (SSD) is a modern data storage device that uses flash memory to store and retrieve digital information. Unlike traditional Hard Disk Drives (HDDs), which rely on spinning disks and mechanical parts, SSDs operate electronically, offering significantly faster performance, improved durability, and greater energy efficiency. As digital systems evolve, SSDs have become the preferred choice across consumer electronics, enterprise servers, data centers, and industrial applications.
How SSDs Work
SSDs store data using NAND flash memory, a type of non-volatile storage that retains information even without power. Data is written and retrieved through electronic circuits, enabling rapid read/write speeds. This architecture eliminates the mechanical delays inherent in HDDs and supports superior performance for both sequential and random operations.
