Understanding Hard Drive Technologies

What is one of the main differences between magnetic hard drives and solid-state drives (SSDs)?

• Magnetic hard drives are faster than SSDs.

• SSDs have no moving parts, while magnetic hard drives do.

• SSDs are larger in physical size than magnetic hard drives.

• Magnetic hard drives are more expensive than SSDs.

Which of the following is a benefit of using a magnetic hard drive?

• It is more durable than an SSD.

• It supports larger storage capacities than SSDs.

• It is faster than an NVME SSD.

• It generates less heat than an SSD.

Why might someone choose a SATA 2.5 SSD over a magnetic hard drive?

• It is less expensive than a magnetic hard drive.

• It has a higher storage capacity than a magnetic hard drive.

• It is quieter and more reliable than a magnetic hard drive.

• It has more moving parts than a magnetic hard drive.

What is a characteristic of the M.2 SSD that makes it different from other SSDs?

• It is shaped like a traditional hard drive.

• It has a dedicated M.2 connector on the motherboard.

• It is slower than a SATA 2.5 SSD.

• It is only used in desktop computers.

Which type of SSD is known for using the PCIe socket and providing the fastest performance?

• SATA 2.5 SSD

• M.2 SSD

• NVME SSD

• Hybrid SSD

What is a hybrid drive?

• A drive that combines a magnetic drive and an SSD.

• A drive that only uses SSD technology.

• A drive that is slower than both magnetic and SSD drives.

• A drive that is used only in gaming consoles.

Why might someone choose a hybrid drive over a pure SSD?

• It is more expensive than a pure SSD.

• It offers more SSD storage than a pure SSD.

• It is less expensive and still faster than a purely magnetic drive.

• It is slower than a magnetic drive.

What is the main advantage of using an NVME SSD in a server or data center?

• It is cheaper than other SSDs.

• It provides faster performance due to its PCIe connection.

• It has the largest storage capacity of all SSDs.

• It is the most durable type of SSD.

Which of the following is true about the storage capacity of SSDs compared to magnetic drives?

• SSDs generally have larger storage capacities than magnetic drives.

• Magnetic drives generally have larger storage capacities than SSDs.

• Both have the same storage capacity.

• SSDs have unlimited storage capacity.

What is a common use for M.2 SSDs due to their size and speed?

• Desktop computers

• Thin laptops

• External hard drives

• Optical drives
