CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 308

A desktop support technician is building a new desktop that features the fastest internal storage. Which of the following BEST suits this request?

Answer options

• A. SATA SSD
• B. SATA HDD
• C. M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD
• D. PCIe SATA HDD

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD is the fastest internal storage option due to its use of the PCIe interface, which allows for higher data transfer speeds compared to the other options. SATA SSDs and HDDs use the SATA interface, which is significantly slower, while the PCIe SATA HDD does not leverage the full speed capabilities of PCIe technology.
