A '''Solid State Disk''' (acronym: '''SSD''') is a [[disk]] made in [[Solid state]] technology using [[semiconductor]] [[memory]], i.e. not using [[magnetic storage]].

There may be an additional conventional [[disk]] for [[data retention]], if [[volatile memory]] is used.

+A '''solid state disk''' (often given as the acronym, '''SSD''') is a [[mass storage]] [[peripheral]] which does not use conventional [[magnetic storage]], with mechanical components, for storing data; instead it stores data in [[semiconductor]] [[memory]], i.e. in [[solid state]] technology (hence the name).
