solid-state drive
Diskless computer memory
A solid-state drive is a data storage device that uses flash memory rather than spinning magnetic disks.
Unlike traditional hard drives, solid-state drives have no moving parts, making them faster, quieter, and more resistant to physical shock.
Often abbreviated SSD: I upgraded to a solid-state drive and my laptop boots in seconds.
