“solid state drive” refers to a memory device providing a large memory capacity utilizing non-volatile semi-conductor gates, such as NAND or NOR gate devices, where a memory device refers to any device providing data storage for another device. Examples of memory devices include solid state drives, hard disk drives, optical drives, and devices providing volatile memory storage such as dynamic random access memory (DRAM). Other examples of memory devices include memory cards, and Universal Serial Bus (USB) FLASH drives.
Solid state drives may provide memory capacity on par with hard disk devices but with much higher performance. NAND flash memories in particular tend to have a lower price and a larger capacity relative to other non-volatile memory types (memory that retains its state in the absence of operating power).
