A solid-state drive (SSD) is a type of storage device used in computers that stores persistent data on solid-state flash memory
. Unlike traditional hard disk drives (HDDs), SSDs have no moving parts, making them faster, more durable, and less likely to fail
. SSDs are ideal for running apps, booting up operating systems, transferring files, and any application that needs to deliver information in real-time
. They are commonly used in high-performance servers, laptops, desktops, and mobile devices
