WHAT IS A HARD DRIVE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What type of storage device combines the traditional rotating platters of a magnetic hard drive with a small amount of high-speed flash memory?
A
A Solid State Hybrid Drive (SSHD)
B
A Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID)
C
An embedded Multi-Media Controller (eMMC)
D
A Solid State Drive (SSD)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A hybrid hard drive (HHD), sometimes known as a solid-state hybrid drive (SSHD), is a mass storage device that combines a conventional hard disk drive (HDD) and a NAND flash module. An HHD blends the capacity, cost and performance of physical disk storage with the accelerated performance of flash.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hybrid storage describes storage systems that are designed with a blend of flash-based solid-state drives (SSDs) and mechanical hard-disk drives (HDDs) in an effort to provide high performance at an affordable price.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -What Does Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Mean? A hard disk drive (HDD) is a non-volatile computer storage device containing magnetic disks or platters rotating at high speeds. It is a secondary storage device used to store data permanently, random access memory (RAM) being the primary memory device.

Detailed explanation-5: -hard disk, also called hard disk drive or hard drive, magnetic storage medium for a computer. Hard disks are flat circular plates made of aluminum or glass and coated with a magnetic material.
