CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 67

A user's laptop is running out of disk space and requires a new hard drive. The user wants to replace the existing hard drive with the fastest possible 1TB HDD. A technician assesses the user's hardware and determines the connections that are available. Which of the following drive types should the technician recommend as the BEST choice?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The 1TB NVMe SSD is the best recommendation because it offers significantly faster data transfer rates compared to the other options. The 1TB SATA SSD, while faster than traditional HDDs, does not match the performance of NVMe. The 1TB flash drive is generally much slower and less suitable for primary storage needs, and the 1TB SAS is typically used in enterprise environments and may not be compatible with consumer laptops.
