Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Maximum Read Speed: 560.0 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can read information; for example, opening files.)
- Maximum Write Speed: 530.0 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can write information; for example, saving files.)
