SSD

A solid-state drive (SSD) is a flash-memory storage device used in computers and portable storage, offering faster speeds, greater durability, and no moving parts compared to traditional hard disk drives (HDDs). It connects via interfaces such as NVMe and comes in internal and enclosure-based portable forms.

Why it’s in the news: It is in the news due to new product launches like Lexar's ultra-slim Muse portable SSD and Samsung's 2TB 9100 Pro, plus ongoing SSD-vs-HDD comparisons and NVMe spec updates.
