Question

The SSD in a user's computer failed. A technician is replacing the SSD and would like to mitigate future failures given the user often runs many programs. Which of the following is the best solution?

Options

  • AIncrease the amount of virtual memory in the OS.
  • BTurn on Windows BitLocker.
  • CVirtualize the user's programs.
  • DUpgrade the amount of RAM in the computer.

Explanation

Upgrading the RAM in the computer can significantly mitigate the potential for SSD failures for users who run many programs simultaneously. When a system runs out of RAM, it uses a portion of the SSD as virtual memory, which can increase the wear and tear on the SSD due to excessive read and write operations. By increasing the RAM, the system can accommodate more programs in the physical memory, reducing reliance on the SSD for virtual memory and hence reducing the wear on the SSD.
