Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI v10) — Question 209

Which of the following statements is true with respect to SSDs (solid-state drives)?

Answer options

• A. Like HDDs, SSDs also have moving parts
• B. SSDs contain tracks, clusters, and sectors to store data
• C. Faster data access, lower power usage, and higher reliability are some of the major advantages of SSDs over HDDs
• D. SSDs cannot store non-volatile data

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Option C is correct because SSDs indeed offer faster data access, lower power consumption, and greater reliability than HDDs. Option A is incorrect as SSDs have no moving parts, unlike HDDs. Option B is also wrong because SSDs do not use tracks, clusters, and sectors in the same way HDDs do. Lastly, option D is false since SSDs are designed to store non-volatile data.
