A solid-state drive (SSD) setup will typically allow MATLAB to run faster than a conventional hard disk drive system (HDD). SSDs can run programs like MATLAB more efficiently than HDDs because they have quicker read and write rates. For instance, the quicker read and write speeds of an SSD can assist in shortening the time it takes to load and store data when working with a large dataset in MATLAB or performing a large simulation, resulting in faster overall performance.
