∙ 11y agoSSD stands for Solid State Drive and HDD stands for Hard Disk Drive. SSDs are far faster than HDD. Today, the capacity of SSDs are far lower than HHDs.
SSD are fast because they are a bank of RAM with a controller that simulates a HDD controller. This controller allows the SSD to plug into (and be recognized by) a computer as if it were a HDD. Since the SSD is far faster than a HDD, using one for the drive you deliver your operating system to allows your computer to boot to the desktop very rapidly. If you haven't changed the location of your Windows virtual memory, this also improves the page swapping speed while the computer is running applications.
You should change the "Temp" system environment variable to point to a hard drive on your system or the SSD can become filled rather rapidly. The "Temp" environment variable is used to point to the location for storing temporary internet files as well as many other temporary files the operating system produces. After a certain volume of the default windows drive is reached, Windows can start to bog down since it will have trouble swapping things in and out of memory.

∙ 8y agoSolid State Drives (SSD) are more robust that traditional magnetic drives. They dont have any moving parts and generate less heat during operation that magnetic drives. They are also not vulnerable to strong magnetic fields which magnetic drives are. They use less energy in operation as they have no moving parts.
On the downside SSD's are susceptible to degradation over time and cannot be physically defragged (as magnetic drives can be).
