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

Strongly consider getting an SSD for new computers (especially laptops)
Note: An SSD upgrade does not guarantee a faster computer if you have issues related to the network, or other part of the system.
