Question

you are in the process of purchasing several new windows - based computers to replace broken or outdated computers. you have heard that solid - state drives (ssds) can significantly increase systems overall performance. which of the following best describe the features of solid - state drives (ssds) compared to hard disk drives (hdds)? (select two.) an ssd uses flash technology to store data. ssd spindles move at a faster rate than those of an hdd. an ssd opens files faster than an hdd. an ssd can be adversely affected by magnetism. an ssd cheaply stores a large amount of data.

Explanation:

1. SSDs use non-volatile flash memory chips to store data, unlike HDDs which use spinning magnetic platters.
2. Without moving parts, SSDs have much faster read/write speeds, so they open files far quicker than HDDs.
3. SSDs have no spindles (a component exclusive to HDDs), are not affected by magnetism, and are more expensive per gigabyte than HDDs, so they do not offer cheap large-scale storage.

Answer:

A. An SSD uses flash technology to store data.
C. An SSD opens files faster than an HDD.
