Solid State Drive Quiz

What is a solid state drive (SSD)?

• A solid state drive (SSD) is a type of storage device that uses magnetic disks to store data.

• A solid state drive (SSD) is a type of storage device that uses optical technology to store data.

• A solid state drive (SSD) is a type of storage device that uses mechanical moving parts to store data.

• A solid state drive (SSD) is a type of storage device that uses integrated circuit assemblies to store data persistently, typically using flash memory.
