Subject field(s)
  • Storage Media (Data Processing)
  • Computer Memories
DEF

A data storage device that uses integrated circuit assemblies as memory to store data persistently.

CONT

The term "SSD" is used for two different kinds of products. The first, SSDs based on fast, volatile memory such as SDRAM [synchronous dynamic random access memory], ... The second type of SSD uses flash memory to store data.

CONT

An SSD does much the same job functionally (e.g., saving your data while the system is off, booting your system, etc.) as an HDD [hard disk drive], but instead of a magnetic coating on top of platters, the data is stored on interconnected flash memory chips that retain the data even when there's no power present.

CONT

El SSD (solid state drive) es un dispositivo de almacenamiento de datos que usa memoria no volátil (NAND) tales como flash, o memoria volátil como la SDRAM, para almacenar datos, en lugar de los platos giratorios encontrados en los discos duros convencionales. Aunque técnicamente no son "discos" a veces se traduce erróneamente en español la 'D' de SSD como 'Disk' cuando en realidad representa la palabra 'Drive', que podría traducirse como unidad o dispositivo.
