Explanation

An SSD (Solid State Drive) uses NAND flash memory chips with no moving parts, making it durable, portable, and fast. HDDs (A) use spinning platters and moving read/write heads - they have mechanical parts and are fragile for portable use. NAS (B) is a networked storage appliance - not removable or portable. SAN (D) is an enterprise-level storage network, not a portable device. Portable USB SSDs satisfy all three requirements: no moving parts, portability, and they can include hardware encryption for security.
