hard drive stores larger volumes, like a file cabinet, while memory sits right next to the processor and swaps things out, like a table top. Solid state drives use a kind of silicon chip memory that holds its info even when powered off instead of a hard drive which has magnetic platters. This works in place of the filing cabinet, faster like a set of little shelves.
