ITPEC IP April 2025 — Question 12 of 100
SSD — a solid-state drive stores data in semiconductor memory and contains no moving mechanical parts.
Unlike an HDD, an SSD does not spin magnetic platters or move a read/write head. That construction generally reduces power consumption and makes it more resistant to shock, which suits compact and embedded devices such as IoT equipment.
Answer (d)
Why not others:
- (a) DRM is digital rights management, a method for controlling use of digital content
- (b) DVD is an optical disc and requires a drive with moving components
- (c) HDMI is an interface for digital audio and video signals, not a storage device
Key rule: Solid-state storage uses nonvolatile semiconductor memory; its lack of mechanical movement distinguishes it from magnetic and optical drives.
