Understanding SSD Technology
Solid-state drives (SSDs) are storage devices that use flash memory to store data. Unlike traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) that use spinning disks and mechanical parts, SSDs have no moving parts, resulting in faster data access and improved reliability. NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) is a protocol designed for SSDs to leverage the full potential of flash memory, enabling faster data transfer speeds and lower latency compared to older protocols like SATA.
