An SSD lets you store data such as movies, photos, and videos. SSDs are faster than hard drives. Thanks to this, you can open your files and software faster, while also saving files faster. An SSD doesn't contain any moving parts. This means it's less susceptible to drops and bumps compared to a hard drive. SSDs come in different sizes and different storage capacities. Professional SSDs are made to handle additional reads and writes, giving them a longer lifespan. An SSD of 1TB lets you store up 100 HD movies, on average.
