The new laptop has all solid state storage, an SSD. No spinning drive.

That'll be something new for me in an actual laptop or desktop computer

but of course precisely what is in a smart phone and most tablets.



Supposedly faster than a hard drive, easier on the battery, et cetera.

But not upgradeable, the way a hard drive is.



My grand daughter's 2009 Disney laptop has an SSD drive but when I

bought the one for the younger grand daughter I got a real machine

with a hard drive.



You can get replacement SSDs but they ain't cheap.



A 1 terabit external drive cost me $100.

LOL...that's how much HD my Tower came with..... a TERABITE...not " terabit".
