What is an SSD?

An SSD means “Solid State Drive” (ENG) and in the German “Solid State Drive”. In contrast to an HDD, it works completely electronically and store the data via chips. On the other hand, an HDD stores data on physical magnetic metal plates (=disks), therefore also “hard disk drive” or “hard disk drive” or “hard disk drive” or “hard disk drive”.

In comparison, an SSD can read and write data significantly faster and more efficiently because it runs through electronic pins directly into the chips. An HDD works a little different, an internal reader/writer performs the tasks, but rather in individual scanning, so will write much slower data or read as an SSD and the storage also runs inefficiently than an SSD.
