A Solid State Drive (SSD) is a storage device that is based on semiconductors instead of rotating magnetic platters. Most SSD's are based on NAND Flash chips because they are fast, highly reliable and non volatile which means the SSD retains the data when the device is powered off.

Our SSD's are 100% interchangeable with standard hard drives and are made to Industry standard dimensions and industry standard interface.
