CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 59

A desktop support technician is tasked with upgrading a laptop so that it has the fastest data access possible. Which of the following BEST satisfies this requirement?

Answer options

• A. mSATA SSD
• B. M.2 NVMe SSD
• C. 2.5 SATA SSD
• D. 2.5 SAS HHD

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The M.2 NVMe SSD (option B) is the fastest option available, utilizing the PCIe interface for superior data transfer speeds. The mSATA SSD (option A) is slower than NVMe, while the 2.5 SATA SSD (option C) and 2.5 SAS HDD (option D) are significantly slower than both SSD options, making them less suitable for high-speed access.
