Solid State Drives “SSD” Alternative to Hard Disk Drives “HDD”

Pros: Faster boot times, resistant to shock

Cons: Higher price per gigabyte, and lower capacity than HDDs

Note: An SSD upgrade does not guarantee a faster computer if you have issues related to the network, or other part of the system.
