Storage drives, or non-volatile memory is one of the pillars that makes up the ecosystem of parts that is your computer. With laptops especially, the former is a lot more common, but ideally, you'd want the latter. Like SD cards or USB flash drives, SSDs use flash storage, but on a larger scale. What sets it apart is that it is a mechanical drive for the most part, but has some solid-state storage built-in. The small amount of solid-state storage (typically 8GB) acts as a cache where your frequently used data will be temporarily stored for easier, faster access.
