Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Solid state hard drives have moving parts.
A
False
B
True
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -SSDs store data permanently inside an integrated circuit, typically using flash memory. The flash memory inside an SSD means data is written, transferred, and erased electronically and silently-SSDs don’t have the moving parts found inside mechanical hard-disk drives (HDDs).

Detailed explanation-2: -Solid-state drives have no moving parts and information is saved onto integrated circuits (ICs). Although SSDs serve the same functions as hard drives, their internal parts are different. SSDs store data using flash memory, allowing them to access data much faster than hard drives.

Detailed explanation-3: -A solid state drive is non-volatile memory (NVM) computer hardware that stores data without moving parts. Whereas hard disk drives (HDD) use a spinning magnetic disk and a mechanical write head to manipulate data, SSDs use charge in semiconductors.

Detailed explanation-4: -HDD storage is made up of magnetic tape and has mechanical parts inside. They’re larger than SSDs and much slower to read and write. In its simplest form, an SSD is flash storage and has no moving parts.

Detailed explanation-5: -External hard disk drives are mechanical, and they contain moving parts. This means that they will, at some point, fail. It’s not a question of if your external hard drive will fail, it’s when. Because external hard drives contain moving parts, this makes them more susceptible to physical damage.
