Basic Computer/IT QUESTION #2616
Question 1
An SSD (Solid State Drive) differs from an HDD primarily because:
  • An SSD uses a spinning platter to store data, making it slower
  • An SSD uses electronic flash memory with no moving parts, making it faster and more durable✔️
  • An SSD requires a constant internet connection to store data
  • An SSD can only store temporary data and loses it when powered off
Correct Answer Explanation
An SSD (Solid State Drive) uses electronic flash memory chips with no moving parts. This makes SSDs significantly faster, quieter, more shock-resistant, and more energy-efficient than traditional HDDs which rely on spinning platters and mechanical arms.
