Question #1
What does 'DDR' stand for in DDR RAM?
A. Dynamic Data Refresh
B. Dual Data Routing
C. Digital Data Register
D. Double Data Rate

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
DDR stands for Double Data Rate, meaning the memory transfers data on both the rising and falling edges of the clock signal, effectively doubling the data rate.

Question #2
Why is cache memory constructed using Static RAM (SRAM) instead of Dynamic RAM (DRAM)?
A. SRAM is much cheaper to scale up in size.
B. SRAM is non-volatile and preserves data when power is disconnected.
C. SRAM requires complex capacitor discharge routines.
D. SRAM does not need refresh cycles, allowing for significantly higher operation speeds.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
SRAM is substantially faster than DRAM because it uses a multi-transistor configuration (flip-flops) that retains state instantly without periodic electrical refreshing.

Question #3
What is the typical maximum capacity limit achievable by a single standard double-layer, double-sided Blu-ray Disc (BD-ROM)?
A. 25 GB
B. 100 GB
C. 50 GB
D. 4.7 GB

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
A standard double-layer Blu-ray disc features two data layers on a single side, yielding a total capacity of 50 GB (25 GB per layer).
