Solid State Drives are drives which have no moving parts. These drives instead of having disks, have flash chips on a board that contain the data. There are a few different types of flash chip, but most commonly [[Glossary#NAND|NAND]] is used. SSDs are usually removable from the device, and can be upgraded as needed, though some devices do have their SSD [[Glossary#Soldering|soldered]] to the motherboard. SSDs are usually either SATA or NVME, with NVME offering faster speeds, but usually at a higher price.
