Solid State Hard Disk
Solid state storage (SSS) is a method of data storage accomplished by using Solid State Hard Disk integrated circuit devices to store data rather than moving magnetic or optical media. SSS is typically non-volatile and may take various forms, such as a solid state drive, solid state card or solid state module. In addition, SSS includes PATA (legacy), SATA, SAS, Fibre Channel or PCIe interface options.Solid state drives (SSD) used in the enterprise are data storage devices that use non-moving flash memory technology rather than rotating magnetic disks or optical media. SSDs are compatible with traditional hard drive interfaces, such as SATA or SAS , and have a familiar hard drive form factor, such as 3.5-, 2.5- or 1.8-inch.Both USB flash drives and SSDs use NAND flash memory. However, it’s the quality of NAND used—as well as the controller and interface involved—that separates a simple USB flash drive from an enterprise-class storage device, like those found in blade server
