What is an SSD?
An SSD (solid-state drive) is a type of nonvolatile storage media
that stores data on solid-state flash memory. It uses NAND flash memory
to access data and has no moving parts. These drives are more shock
resistant and are commonly used in tablets, laptops, and desktop
computers.
Compared to hard disk drives, solid-state storage devices have no moving parts. This is an emerging storage technology
that promises lower rates of failure compared to other forms of storage
media. However, just like any other form of data storage, these advanced
drives still fail.
SSDs are more reliable over time because
they are less susceptible to physical shock and have no moving parts.
However, firmware corruptions, accidental deletion of files, software
errors, and other unexpected occurrences are bound to happen. Some
common failure types with SSD drives include:
