A solid-state drive is substantially quicker than any normal hard disk. It is because an HDD works by using rotating disks, that can rotate only so fast and the more information is read and written, the sluggish and warmer they become, while an SDD uses modules of flash memory, so there are no actually moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are a lot higher, which makes this sort of drives a recommended solution when speed is needed. That's why SSDs are in many cases used for the Operating System on a desktop or notebook and for keeping data which is used repeatedly on web servers. A lot of service providers also use a combination of both drives, so they save the data on HDDs, but they use a couple of SSDs in order to cache the more frequently used data and as a consequence, the data loads much quicker while the load on the HDDs is decreased since their disks need to spin less frequently in order to read and write.
