The hard drive in a computer is what stores your data when the computer is turned off.  SSD (solid state drive) is the newer type of hard drive that has no moving parts, and is much faster and more robust than older spinning disk type hard drives.

If you rely on whole disk encryption to protect your data, you should try open source software such as VeraCrypt instead of BitLocker.
