CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 422

A technician is upgrading a user's laptop from an HDD to an SSD. The user's laptop only has a single bay for a hard drive. Which of the following characteristics of the SSD is the most important in this scenario?

Answer options

• A. Partition type
• B. Storage size
• C. Form factor
• D. Transfer speed

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The form factor is crucial because it determines whether the SSD will physically fit in the laptop's single bay. While storage size, transfer speed, and partition type are important, they are irrelevant if the SSD cannot be installed due to size constraints.
