Types of SSDs

There are two primary types of SSDs: flash-based and RAM-based.

Flash-based SSDs use non-volatile memory cells to store data, which remain intact even when the device is powered off. These SSDs are commonly used in consumer devices due to their reliability and cost-effectiveness.
RAM-based SSDs, on the other hand, utilize volatile memory, requiring continuous power to retain stored data. They are generally faster and far more expensive than flash-based SSDs, making them ideal for high-end applications and data centers.
