Introduction 

Solid-state storage (SSS) is a type of non-volatile computer storage that stores and retrieves digital information using only electronic circuits, without any involvement of moving mechanical parts. It is typically used in the form of a solid-state drive (SSD).

Solid-state storage is designed on the architecture and storage mechanism of non–volatile flash memory and stores data electronically by-passing electrical charge across the memory chips.

-Historical Roots-

Solid-state storage, particularly the concept of a Solid State Drive (SSD), was first introduced in the 1970s. The invention is attributed to a few individuals, with one notable contributor being Dr. Fujio Masuoka, who invented NAND flash memory, a key technology used in modern SSDs.

The concept of solid-state storage has roots in early developments of semiconductor technology. In the mid-20th century, the invention of the transistor laid the foundation for solid-state electronics. The evolution of these semiconductor devices, coupled with advancements in memory technology, led to the creation of solid-state storage devices. The introduction of the first commercial solid-state drive (SSD) in the late 1970s marked a significant milestone, and over the decades, continuous innovation has transformed solid-state storage into a mainstream technology, revolutionizing data storage and retrieval across various electronic devices.
