Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Which of the following is a concept that applies only to conventional magnetic hard disk drives and not newer solid-state drives? D. Each concept applies to both HDDs and SSDs except for platter spin rates. Revolutions per minute (rpm) measurements refer to drives with moving parts.

Detailed explanation-2: -A hard disk drive (HDD), hard disk, hard drive, or fixed disk[b] is an electromechanical data storage device that uses magnetic storage to store and retrieve digital information using one or more rigid rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hard disks, zip disks and floppy disks are common examples of magnetic disks.

Detailed explanation-4: -According to Computer Hope, a traditional hard drive, also known as a hard disk drive (HDD), is a nonvolatile memory hardware device that permanently stores and retrieves information. They can be found in desktop computers, mobile devices, consumer electronics and enterprise storage arrays in data centers.

Detailed explanation-5: -An SSD, or solid-state drive, is a type of storage device used in computers. This non-volatile storage media stores persistent data on solid-state flash memory. SSDs replace traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) in computers and perform the same basic functions as a hard drive.
