CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 275

A technician is installing an optical drive in an engineering workstation that allows for optical media backups up to 128GB for each project. Which of the following drives should the technician install in the workstation?

Answer options

• A. DVR-RW DL
• B. BD-R
• C. LTO-2
• D. CD-RW

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The BD-R (Blu-ray Disc Recordable) drive is capable of storing up to 25GB per layer and can support multiple layers, allowing for a total capacity of up to 128GB. The DVR-RW DL can only store up to 8.5GB, LTO-2 is a magnetic tape drive not suitable for optical media, and CD-RW has a maximum capacity of 700MB, making them all inadequate for the required storage capacity.
