What is the difference between an SSD and an HDD
What is the difference between an SSD and an HDD. These are two types of "hard drives" that you will often see and use. An SSD is a solid state drive which is flash storage. This means the storage is not on a physical disk, rather just "1's & 0's" in non physical memory. An HDD is a hard disk drive, this drive has a physical disk inside that spins and stores data on it. It can be at more risk of damage and future issues but it does tend to be much cheaper.
