Which of the following is a part of a Solid-State Drive (SSD)?

The correct answer is C. NAND-based flash memory. Solid-State Drives (SSDs) use NAND-based flash memory chips to store data electronically, with no moving mechanical parts. In contrast, traditional Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) use mechanical components including read/write heads, cylinders (logical groupings of tracks), and a spindle

Explanation

Solid-State Drives (SSDs) use NAND-based flash memory chips to store data electronically, with no moving mechanical parts. In contrast, traditional Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) use mechanical components including read/write heads, cylinders (logical groupings of tracks), and a spindle (the motor that rotates the magnetic platters). Because SSDs have no moving parts, they are faster, more shock-resistant, and more energy-efficient than HDDs.
