The ipad memory is soldered to the board... So in a way it's a SS drive. It won't be bothered by vibration like conventional drives.

It has flash memory, just like solid state drives.

Of course that doesn't mean vibrations won't harm it. I'd put it in a good carrying case with impact absorbing foam.

It certainly shouldn't suffer any more than having as cellphone on your ride... it's the same technology.

HD = Hard Drive
The iPad doesn't have a hard drive, it has flash memory.

Solid State...Flash Memory......it is the EXACT SAME THING.
So the answer to your question is yes it has a SSD built in.I never give up. Snideness and rudeness of any sort WILL be returned in kind.

Well, not really, to say it has a SSD (Solid State DRIVE) is incorrect, because it has no hard drive. It's flash memory chips, like someone said above, are a part of the main board, not a separate device.

Don't forget the new MB Air has no moving HD either--and not much bigger than iPad. And of course a lot of other laptops offer that now too.
