Any portable data storage needs
Literally a device that has no moving parts. It is frequently used for electronic devices such as transistors and integrated circuits. Also a solid state hard drive has no moving parts.
A mini-SATA or mSATA connector is used by smaller devices such as 1.8" SATA drives, some DVD and Blu-ray drives, netbooks, laptops. (devices which require a solid-state drive in small footprint (size). Applications include netbooks, laptops and other devices that require a solid-state drive in a small footprint.
Solid-state devices
Solid state drives, or SSD, are storage devices that uses integrated circuit assemblies as memory. Flash drives, compact flash, and MultiMedia cards are examples of solid state storage devices.
Solid state storage regards media and devices that are not moving as in conventional hard disks. Solid states devices include SSDs and flash memory modules.
Solid state devices.
Solid state refers to electrical / electronic devices without moving parts.
The term solid state is used to describe the etched in silicon version of the various parts of an electrical or electronic circuit. The main reason that solid state devices are used is the size of the parts. Solid state devices do combine a large number of simple parts into a small package. Solid state devices can do a long list of different functions in a small space, use very little electricity, last a long time, and can be made very cheaply
Flash memory is a term used for solid state devices. They are called solid state because they have no moving parts and the data is "flashed" to the device. Mobile phones use flash memory, USB storage devices or even large mass storage devices can be bought as solid state.
a solid state drive is faster than an sata drive...
A normal hard drive consists of a disc that is constantly being written and overwritten, whereas a solid state drive consists of flash memory, like a USB drive. It has no moving parts and is all in one piece, therefore, solid state.
Flash memory is a term used for solid state devices. They are called solid state because they have no moving parts and the data is "flashed" to the device. Mobile phones use flash memory, USB storage devices or even large mass storage devices can be bought as solid state.
