SSD and SSD holder
A solid-state drive (SSD, also known as a solid-state disk although it contains neither an actual disk nor a
drive motor to spin a disk) is a solid-state storage device that uses integrated circuit assemblies as
memory to store data persistently. SSDs have no moving (mechanical) components. SSDs are typically
more resistant to physical shock, run silently, have lower access time, and less latency.
