Question #1
Which of the following is a characteristic of a solid-state drive (SSD) compared to a hard disk drive (HDD)?
A. SSDs have higher latency
B. SSDs are more susceptible to physical shock
C. SSDs have faster random access times
D. SSDs are louder

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
SSDs have much faster random access times because there is no mechanical latency (seek time, rotational latency). They are also more resistant to shock and quieter.

Question #2
Which storage allocation unit represents the equivalent value of exactly $2^{50}$ bytes?
A. 1 Exabyte
B. 1 Petabyte
C. 1 Terabyte
D. 1 Zettabyte

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Following binary exponential calculations: $2^{10}$ = KB, $2^{20}$ = MB, $2^{30}$ = GB, $2^{40}$ = TB, and $2^{50}$ = 1 Petabyte (PB).
