Rather, SSD is a type of less powerful device that also uses CF or Flash memory. Keep in mind that SSD and CF are neither rivals or counterparts.

The main purpose of SSD is to carry and transfer files from one device to another. Meanwhile, SSD is a kind of media that stores, reads, and writes data using a form of Flash memory without magnetic properties. Not only is CF used on flash drives, but you can also find it in tablets, smartphones, cameras, and MP3 players. Generally, CF or Flash is a type of high-speed, non-volatile, and magnetic read-and-write media that carries all kinds of digital data.
