What types of drives do you have on your computer(s)? Is it an old-fashioned Hard-Disk Drive (HDD) or a Solid-State Drive (SDD)? What are the advantages/disadvantages of each?

Step-by-step explanation:

Solid-state drives (SSDs) are the most common storage drives today.

SSDs are smaller and faster than hard disk drives (HDDs).

SSDs are noiseless and allow PCs to be thinner and more lightweight.

Hard disk drives (HDDs) are more common in older devices.

If you primarily use your PC for web browsing and light work, you may not need as much storage space.

If you work with large videos or files, you may want more storage.

If you use OneDrive or another cloud storage service for photos and files, you may need less storage on your device.
