15Programs will load faster if you have solid state storage in your computer system.
- ATRUE
- BFALSE
16Magnetic storage has lower capacity than solid state storage
- ATRUE
- BFALSE
17Magnetic storage has higher capacity than solid state storage.
- ATRUE
- BFALSE
18Magnetic storage is less durable because it has moving parts, therefore it is more likely to break if dropped.
- ATRUE
- BFALSE
19Solid state storage has a faster read write speed than magnetic storage, therefore it can load files and apps much quicker.
- ATRUE
- BFALSE
20Solid state storage has a slower read write speed than magnetic storage, therefore it load files and apps much slower.
- ATRUE
- BFALSE
21This is how much data the storage device can hold.
- ACapacity
- BDurability
- CRead/write speed
- DCost effective
- EPortability
22This is how fast the storage device can load and save data.
- ADurability
- BCost effective
- CRead/write speed
- DPortability
- ECapacity
23This is how many devices the storage device can be used on.
- ACost effective
- BPortability
- CRead/Write speed
- DDurability
- ECapacity
24This is how robust (how strong it is). The more robust, the less likely it is to break.
- ACapacity
- BRead/write speed
- CPortability
- DDurability
- ECost effective
25This is when you get the best value for money. For example, getting lots of storage space for a cheaper price.
