**something unique!... SSD: . . . A solid state drive (SSD), or solid state disk, is a data storage device that uses solid-state memory to store persistent data. SSD emulates conventional hard disk drive, thus easily replacing it in any application. With no moving parts, a solid state drive largely eliminates seek time, latency and other electro-mechanical delays and failures associated with a conventional hard disk drive. While an SSD is not technically a disk, the term solid state disk emphasises (sic) its typical use as an alternative to a disk drive.
