Choose the answers that are TRUE.
A
Cache memory is built into various components on a computer, including the processor.
B
Cache memory is cheaper, because it is slower than normal memory (RAM) but it can increase the overall performance of a computer quite dramatically.
C
In general, the higher the speed of the CPU, the slower it will perform.
D
Fragmentation has no affect on speed of SSDs.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It has to physically move, which takes time. With a solid-state drive (SSD), you’ll still experience the fragmentation, but there are no moving parts that have to actually move to the location of the other parts of the file, so you don’t encounter the same symptoms (reduced performance).

Detailed explanation-2: -Drive capacity affects performance On a drive that’s more empty, the SSD can find those empty blocks much, much faster. The more data on the drive, the more time it takes the SSD to find the right spot to move that data, regardless of whether you’re writing brand new data or just changing a file that already exists.

Detailed explanation-3: -While Solid-State Drives are ridiculously faster than traditional rotating platter hard drives, they dramatically slow down performance as you fill them up. The rule of thumb to keep SSDs at top speeds is never completely to fill them up.
