DISK DRIVES DEFINITION (continued): … an array of semiconductor memory organized as a disk drive, using integrated circuits (ICs) rather than magnetic or optical media.
This arrangement has many advantages. Data transfer to and from solid-state drives is much faster than electromechanical disk drives. Seek time and latency are also substantially reduced. Users typically enjoy much faster boot times as well. In general, SSDs are also more durable and much … Disk Drives definition sponsored by SearchStorage.com, powered by WhatIs.com an online computer dictionary
