Until recently, PC buyers had very little choice about what kind of storage to get in a laptop or desktop. If you bought an ultraportable, you likely had a solid-state drive (SSD) as the primary drive (C: on Windows, Macintosh HD on a Mac). Every other desktop or laptop form factor had a hard disk drive (HDD). Now, you can configure your system with either an HDD or SSD, or in some cases both.
Solid state drives have a constant increase in popularity since 2012, and this mainly due to the fact that their cost has been steadily dropping too.
