CompTIA A+ Certification Core 2 (220-1102) - Maintaining Storage Disks

The video tutorial discusses the importance of error checking and optimization for mass storage devices like hard disk drives and SSDs. Error checking involves scanning the file system to ensure data integrity, while optimization, particularly for SSDs, involves using TRIM to manage data blocks efficiently. The tutorial demonstrates how to perform these tasks using Windows tools, highlighting the differences between SSDs and hard disk drives in terms of performance and maintenance.
