    Hi

    Flash storage is essentially a really big USB memory stick instead of using a standard Hard Drive which stores information on disks inside the drive. here are the Pros/cons to flash:-

    Faster to access information from the drive
    More realiable as they have a lower failure rate
    Even more reliable as if the mac is dropped beyond repair you stand a very good chance of recovering your information without issue as their are no disks inside which are usually shattered/scratched resulting in a loss of information
    help to make a unit lighter and more portable due to small size

    Expensive
    Small sizes

    hope this helps
