When looking around this forum, I countlessly encounter SSD or HDD. I'm not sure what these are so can someone help me?

ssd = solid state drive

this differs from a hdd (hard disk drive) as there are no rotating platters and is alot faster in read/write speeds

Google is your friend. A Solid-State Drive is a drive with no moving parts, which is much faster than spinning hard drives.

SSD - solid state drive
HDD - Hard Disk Drive

Please use google as the above post mentioned.

An SSD is basically a big flash drive, super quick, very expensive, but so much better.
