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. 8, record 1, English, - solid%20state%20disk

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. 1, record 1, Spanish, - unidad%20de%20estado%20s%C3%B3lido
