SSD is essentially a hard drive that dosen't have any moving parts. Think of it as a huge stack of SD cards combined to make 60gb or something - though of course it's not as simple as that, but the concept is similar.
In a regular harddrive you have a stack of disks, and when your computer needs to access a file it needs to physically spin up the drive, and then look for the file (think of how a CD drive works)
Now since your computer's OS needs access to a good handful of these files at any given moment, imagine the time savings with an SSD where you don't need to physically move anything to gain access to a file.
