Which hard drive has no moving parts?
A
SSD
B
HDD
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -SSD stands for Solid State Drive. These disks don’t have any moving parts. Instead, all of the data is stored on non-volatile flash memory. That means that there isn’t a needle that has to move to read or write data and that they are significantly faster than SATA drives.

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: -If you’re looking for a hard drive with tons of storage space, a SATA drive may be for you, as they commonly hold terabytes of data. But take note of the fact that because SATA drives have moving parts, they are more likely to malfunction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Portable SSDs are just like internal SSDs but are portable, durable, convenient, and universally compatible. That means no matter your hobby or profession, Crucial portable SSDs are compatible with almost any system or device.

Detailed explanation-5: -Since a SSD has no moving parts, is it safe to freely move if it’s writing data? That’s one of the primary benefits of an SSD. Because it has no moving parts, it is not at risk of any sort of physical damage from movement.
