Which of the following specifications would be better in terms of storage capacity speed of access to data?
A
PC with Magnetic Storage of 2TB
B
PC with SSD drive of 500GB
C
Mobile Phone with SSD of 128GB
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -With HDDs, the speed ranges from 0.1 to 1.7 MB/s. SSDs and NVME SSDs operate at much faster speeds of 50 to 250 MB/s.

Detailed explanation-2: -The storage in a Solid State Drive is faster in comparison to HDD. SSD takes a shorter Read/Write time, while HDD takes a longer Read/Write time.

Detailed explanation-3: -Solid state drives (SSD for short) are the fastest type of storage drive, recording data on solid state NAND chips as opposed to the spinning platters inside a hard drive. This makes SSDs much faster than hard drives, although each GB of storage capacity will cost you more.

Detailed explanation-4: -So one GB as per the disk manufacturer is really 1, 000, 000, 000 / (1, 024 x 1, 024 x 1, 024) = . 931GB as measured by everybody else. So a “500GB” disk has 500 x . 931GB of storage, or 465GB.
