Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Having millions of transistors wired in a series on a circuit board, give the advantage of having no mechanical moving parts and therefore immediate access to the data.
A
Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
B
Blu-Ray
C
Universal Secure Disk Drive (USDD)
D
Solid State Drive (SSD)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -They use NAND flash memories (millions of transistors wired in a series on a circuit board), giving them the advantage of having no mechanical moving parts and therefore immediate access to the data.

Detailed explanation-2: -The difference between hard drives and solid state drives is in the technology used to store and retrieve data. The table below illustrates some of the differences. HDDs are cheaper and you can get more storage space. SSDs, however, are incredibly faster, lighter, more durable, and they use less energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Durability and Reliability of an SSD. SSDs are Faster than Hard Drives. Power and Energy Efficient. Less Weight and No Noise. More Practical Sizes/Form Factors.

Detailed explanation-4: -Speed. Probably the overall Number 1 advantage that SSD has over HDD is speed. Durability. Energy-Efficient. Lifespan. Cost. Storage. The most difficult challenge of SSD over HDD is related to data recovery. 01-May-2018

Detailed explanation-5: -Cost. SSDs are more expensive than traditional HDDs. Life expectancy. Some SSDs, for example, those using NAND memory-flash chips, can only be written a specified number of times that is typically less than HDDs. Performance. Storage options. Data recovery.
