CompTIA A+ 220-1101 Practice Question

A technician is tasked with installing a new high-speed 6 Gb/s hard drive into a desktop computer. The motherboard in question supports the highest data transfer rate available with the current generation of this interface. Which cable should the technician use to connect the hard drive to the motherboard to ensure full utilization of its transfer capabilities?

  • A universal cable that works with all generations of the interface, since they are physically identical.

  • A cable that supports the maximum speed of 6 Gb/s to match the high-speed interface of the motherboard and hard drive.

  • A cable that supports a speed of 3 Gb/s, assuming backward compatibility will provide the necessary throughput.

  • Any available cable, as the auto-negotiation feature will adjust the speed to the highest possible rate.
