Global Solid State Drive (SSD) Market 2015-2019

About solid state drives
A solid state drive is a solid state disk or an electronic disk that is used for data storage. It is made of semiconductors and uses the same input/output interface design as HDDs and stores data in solid state memory. These devices use DRAM or NAND-based flash memory to store data. The lack of moving parts reduce the risk of mechanical failures of SSDs allowing data transfer at higher speeds. In addition, they are suited for harsh environments and extreme shock and consume less power, thus increasing consistency.

Flash-based SSDs do not require batteries as they use non-volatile flash memory and can retain memory during power failures. This type of SSDs are slower and less expensive. DRAM-based SSDs need an external adapter or power source and use volatile memory. They have high speed and are more expensive. Solid-state storage is available in three form factors: solid-state drives (SSD), solid-state cards (SSC), and solid-state modules (SSM).

Technavio's analysts forecast the global SSD market to grow at a CAGR of 9.69% by revenue over the period 2014-2019.
