Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which technology is based on flash memory and is intended eventually to replace conventional hard disk drives that have moving discs and other mechanisms?
A
USB flash drives
B
Memory cards
C
Solid-state drives
D
Optical drives
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A solid-state drive (SSD) is a solid-state storage device that uses integrated circuit assemblies to store data persistently, typically using flash memory, and functioning as secondary storage in the hierarchy of computer storage.

Detailed explanation-2: -Which technology is based on flash memory and is intended eventually to replace conventional hard disk drives that have moving discs and other mechanisms? C. Solid-state disks (SSDs) are capable of replacing conventional HDDs, contingent upon cheaper components and higher capacities.

Detailed explanation-3: -An SSD-equipped PC will boot in far less than a minute, often in just seconds. A hard drive requires time to speed up to operating specs, and it will continue to be slower than an SSD during normal use.

Detailed explanation-4: -A hard disk drive (HDD), hard disk, hard drive, or fixed disk, is an electro-mechanical data storage device that stores and retrieves digital data using magnetic storage with one or more rigid rapidly rotating platters coated with magnetic material.
