CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 398
A technician is designing a new laptop for a local construction company. Company employees will move the laptop around frequently and are likely to drop the laptop while working. Which of the following drives should the technician install to mitigate for potential damage?
Answer options
- A. S.M.A.R.T
- B. SCSI
- C. RAID
- D. Solid-state
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The solid-state drive (SSD) is the best choice because it has no moving parts, making it more resistant to physical shocks and drops compared to traditional hard drives. S.M.A.R.T, SCSI, and RAID are not types of drives but rather technologies or configurations that do not offer the same level of protection against physical damage.
