Which of the following are advantages of using Solid State Drives (SSDs) rather than Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) in laptop computers?

1.An SSD is much lighter than an HDD

2.An SSD has lower power consumption than an HDD

3.SSDs are thick compared to HDDs due to no moving parts

A1 & 2 only ✓ Correct

B1 & 3 only

C2 & 3 only

D1, 2 & 3

Correct answer: (A) 1 & 2 only

Explanation

An SSD being much lighter and drawing less power than an HDD are the real advantages.

Statement 1 is right because an SSD weighs far less without heavy platters.

Statement 2 is right because an SSD consumes less power in use.

Statement 3 is wrong because SSDs are thinner, not thicker, than HDDs.

Having no moving parts makes SSDs slim, quiet and shock-resistant.

These traits suit SSDs especially well to laptops.
