I agree with the others. The hard drive whether traditional or SSD does not play CDs. That is the job of an optical drive, and most new computers come without one these days. The SSD is faster (assuming it's PCIe rather than SATA), and it should be more reliable and long lasting than a traditional hard drive. A SATA SSD is only a little faster than a traditional drive because of the limitations of the interface. The drawback is that the SSD costs more than a traditional hard drive.

If you need to use the computer for playing CDs or DVDs look for one with an optical drive. They are becoming less common, but can still be found.
