FC0-U61 · Question #363

Which of the following storage device uses SRAM or DRAM?

The correct answer is B. Solid-state drive (SSD). Solid-state drives (SSDs) utilize NAND flash memory for persistent storage, but they commonly incorporate DRAM as a cache for improved performance, and some high-performance SSDs may use SRAM in their controllers.

Why each option

Solid-state drives (SSDs) utilize NAND flash memory for persistent storage, but they commonly incorporate DRAM as a cache for improved performance, and some high-performance SSDs may use SRAM in their controllers.

AUSB flash drive

USB flash drives primarily use NAND flash memory but typically do not include separate SRAM or DRAM for caching in the same way an SSD does.

BSolid-state drive (SSD)Correct

Solid-state drives (SSDs) primarily use NAND flash memory for data storage, but they commonly include DRAM (Dynamic Random-Access Memory) to function as a cache, significantly improving read and write speeds by buffering data. Some SSD controllers might also use a small amount of SRAM for internal operations.

CBlu-ray Disc

Blu-ray Discs are optical storage media that store data magnetically or optically, not using SRAM or DRAM for data storage.

DCD drive

A CD drive is an optical drive that reads data from Compact Discs, which are optical storage media, not using SRAM or DRAM for data storage.
