The SSD stands for Solid State Drive. It is a replacement for the HDD, the difference is that the SSD uses memory chips to read data (typically DDR RAM or Flash Memory). Because the SSD does not have to spin up the drive platter or move drive heads, the information can be read almost instantaneously.
