Question

section 3 storage. this type of hard drive spins at 7200–15,000 times per minute. * options: solid state drive, hard disk drive, flash drive

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the characteristics of each option:

• Solid State Drives (SSDs) have no moving parts, so they don't spin. Thus, this option is incorrect.
• Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) use spinning platters to store data, and their rotational speeds typically range from 7200 to 15,000 revolutions per minute (RPM), which matches the description in the question.
• Flash Drives (like USB drives) are based on flash memory and also have no moving parts, so they don't spin. This option is incorrect.

Answer:

B. Hard Disk Drive
