-For many years PC's were delivered with a Hard Drive. The electrical mechanical components in a HD contribute significantly, to the slowness of booting, loading a program and updates. In recent years computers are available with SSD. SSD is dramatically faster than HD. Computers with a HD can exhibit significant improvements in, booting, loading a program and updates, if the HD is replaced with an SSD. SSD costs have dropped significantly.
