What is an SSD?

Learn the basics of Solid State Drive technology with help from the Memory Experts at Crucial. A solid-state drive -- or SSD-- is a data storage device that uses flash memory to store data. An SSD does the job of a traditional hard drive. Solid state drives have obvious advantages over their hard drive counterparts. • They withstand temperature extremes better • They run more quietly • They run cooler • They tolerate shaking, dropping, and other traumas that would otherwise render a hard drive useless • Because they can be designed with smaller form factors, SSD often weigh less than hard drive. SSDs offer better performance, too. • They have faster startup and boot times. • And they have fewer failures when it comes to writing or erasing data. An SSD is easy to install, and it's also easy to migrate data from an hard drive to a new SSD. Go to www.Crucial.com to learn more about SSDs. More SSD videos!
