solid state
Thesaurus| Noun | 1. | solid state - the state in which a substance has no tendency to flow under moderate stress; resists forces (such as compression) that tend to deform it; and retains a definite size and shapesolidness, solidstate of matter, state - (chemistry) the three traditional states of matter are solids (fixed shape and volume) and liquids (fixed volume and shaped by the container) and gases (filling the container); "the solid state of water is called ice" |
Translationssolid state
solid state[′säl·əd ′stāt] (engineering) Pertaining to a circuit, device, or system that depends on some combination of electrical, magnetic, and optical phenomena within a solid that is usually a crystalline semiconductor material. (physics) The condition of a substance in which it is a solid. solid state (electronics)(Often hyphenated when used as an adjective) Aterm describing any device that uses semiconductorcomponents rather than electron tubes or relays.Semiconductors are "solid" in that they contain no gas("vacuum" tubes contain a small amount as the vacuum is notperfect) or moving parts (like relays), but probably moreimportant is the connotation of reliability and durabilitythat made possible things like portable radios.solid stateNon mechanical. Solid state refers to electronic circuits composed of transistors, resistors, capacitors and other components, which may be discrete, single devices, or millions of them can be created in a single chip. For example, microprocessors and memories are all solid state. In a solid state device, there is no mechanical action, although an unbelievable amount of electromagnetic action takes place within.
A computer has solid state and non-solid state parts. The solid state components are the motherboard, chips, screen, camera and optical mouse, while the hard drive, CD/DVD drive, fans, keyboard, microphone and speakers have mechanical components.
Faster and More Reliable Storage
For data storage, solid state devices are faster and more reliable than mechanical drives that spin disk platters, but they are more expensive. Although the cost of solid state disks is dropping all the time, the cost/performance ratio of magnetic disks continues to improve as well. See SSD.
