Introduction to Solid-State Drive (SSD)
SSD is a non-volatile storage device, which stands for Solid State Drive, and protocols such as SATA and SAS of traditional hard disk drives (HDD) may be used. New form factors such as the M.2 form factor, and new I/O protocols such as NVM Express have been developed to address specific requirements of the Flash memory technology used in SSDs.
