A magnetic drive stores data on a rotating platter using magnetism. A solid state drive is all electronic and uses neither magnetism nor moving parts.

The primary advantages are that solid state drives can be faster, use less power and survive physical shocks, like dropping it on the floor, that would kill a magnetic drive.
