Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is an advantage of Solid State Storage?
A
It has spinning disks to read the data
B
The storage device is lightweight and silent
C
SSDs are very cheap to buy and have lots of storage
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Their compact design makes SSDs perfect for laptops, tablets, and other small electronic devices. The absence of moving parts also makes SSDs infinitely quieter than HDDs whose noise and vibrations can be very distracting.

Detailed explanation-2: -A: There a number of advantages offered by solid-state drives: Increased durability due to no moving parts to wear out or fail. Significantly faster data transfer rates (some drives claim 92% faster) More reliable long-term storage and no need to “exercise” drives.

Detailed explanation-3: -No Moving Parts SSDs have no spinning platters, moving read/write heads or any other moving parts common to traditional mechanical hard disks. Instead, data is stored in integrated circuits. An SSD’s solid-state design means you don’t have to worry about losing data because of platter crashes or mechanical failure.

Detailed explanation-4: -Solid-state storage (SSS) is a type of computer storage media that stores data electronically and has no moving parts. Solid state storage is made from silicon microchips. Because there are no moving parts, SSDs require less power and produce far less heat than spinning hard disk drives or magnetic tape.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer: Solid state devices include USB pen drives, SD cards, micro SD cards, newer types of hard drive, the SIM card that goes in your mobile phone and smart cards such as chip and pin credit and debit cards.
