Solid State Drive is the full form of SSD. Another name for it is Face Drive. It is at least 8 times faster than normal HDDs. Normal hard drives take longer to read and write disk-based data and get hotter . On the other hand, being SSD chip based, it takes less time to read and write data, so it is faster. Again, since the wheel does not have to be rotated in a different way, the power cost is less. However, in comparison , the price of SSD is a little higher.
