CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 488

A user requested upgrades to a company-issued laptop to increase its performance while working with a large database stored on drive C: Which of the following tasks should a systems administrator complete to BEST meet this goal? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Configure RAID 1.
• B. Install a hybrid drive.
• C. Upgrade to 1GB NIC.
• D. Increase the RAM.
• E. Migrate to a SSD.
• F. Upgrade the power supply.

Correct answer: D, E

Explanation

Increasing the RAM (D) will allow the laptop to handle more data simultaneously, improving performance. Migrating to an SSD (E) will significantly speed up read and write times compared to traditional hard drives, further enhancing database access. The other options do not directly address performance improvements for database work on drive C:.
