What's so special about an SSD ?
Extremly faster speeds ( Between 300 and 500 Mo / secs for most consumer grade SSD's , to compare a high quality HDD can go up to about 100 Mo / secs)
No moving parts , witch mean you can shake it everywhere i won't do anything
Low enegy consumtion
No noise
Alsmost no heat coming out of them ( well this depends of what type of SSD you have )
BUT they have downsides too :
First it's flash memory witch means the capacity can only be like usb drives ( 128 , 256 , 512 Gb and more for high end ones )
Pretty expesive compared to HDD's even if their price go down every day
the money you need to get a 128 Gb SSD could get you a 1 Terabyte HDD
An SSD basically make your OS lag free ( Windows booting in less that 20 seconds for most users , you get ultrafast copy speeds and if you have USB3 on you pc when you will copy something to a usb stick you will get the maximum speed that the usb stick can handle witch is awsome !)
Most users of them install their OS on their SDD , and use a secondary HDD to have more capacity aside of the SSD
i hope i was clear
you can google it anyway , and if you want a graphic demo just search it no youtube .
