I'm sure all of us here have used the HDD or the hard disk drive for the storage. But there is a new type of storage called SSD - solid state drive - which is similar to the structure of the SD card (of the camera and the phone). Unlike the hard disk which has a motor to move the disk for the read/write head, the SSD has no moving parts and therefore more convenient since overheating will not be an issue. But I still have to try the SSD before I can talk about its other advantages.
HDD vs SSD

SSD is the best way to go regards hosting an website.
- Speed is fast
- SSD doesn't use memory as HDD does
- more reliable and last longer
...what? lol
Please, can you explain what you meant? I am interested in the subject.
I believe he's confused. Both HDD's and SSD's are non-volatile memory (that's their whole purpose); just different technology used. There's also not a difference in RAM consumption, if that's instead what he means.
However SSD's are indeed much faster, more reliable (since there are no moving parts), and much more secure when it comes to wiping data. They're significantly more expensive, but the price has been dropping quite dramatically, and soon the one advantage HDD's have (price) wont exist.

Yes, but why did you mention it to begin with, as it's unrelated to the subject?
