A Solid-State Drive (SSD) uses flash memory technology to store data electronically, allowing faster data access, lower latency, and improved reliability compared to mechanical storage devices. SSDs have no moving parts, making them more durable and efficient for high-speed computing tasks.

Option A (Hard disk drive): Uses spinning magnetic disks and is slower.

Option B (Optical disc drive): Reads/writes data using lasers on discs (CDs, DVDs).

Option D (Magnetic tape drive): Stores large volumes of data sequentially, primarily for backups.

Thus, the correct answer is Solid-state drive.
