    The OCZ is a SSD (flash).
    It isn't external if that's what u mean. Its designed to be a hd replacement, so it just slots in a like a normal hd.

    The OCZ drive you mentioned is a Solid state disk. It is basically a huge memory card which stores your data much like a SD card does. The drive is the same physical size as a mechanical harddrive and fits into the same socket, which is a SATA port. The OCZ drive fits inside the laptop and you can install Windows on there, because it is a new kind of harddrive.

    SSD drives are much more expensive than standard harddrives, but they are in most cases faster and more durable.

    I tried to make this simple to understand, but if you have any more questions feel free to ask.
