CompTIA ITF+ (FC0-U61) — Question 23

A programmer needs to store output in a place that can be accessed as quickly as possible. The data does not need to remain persistent. Which of the following is the BEST option for storing the data?

Answer options

• A. Flat file
• B. Memory
• C. Relational database
• D. Solid state drive

Correct answer: B

The best option for storing data that requires quick access and does not need persistence is Memory, as it allows for rapid read and write operations. Flat files, relational databases, and solid state drives are slower in comparison due to their reliance on physical storage mechanisms or more complex access methods.
