A technician is tasked with upgrading the storage device of a laptop to shorten the operating system's load time and improve application responsiveness. The current device is a traditional spinning disk with moderate data access speeds. Which of the following options would be the BEST replacement to meet the user’s requirements?
You selected this option
Substitute it with a faster version of a traditional disk.
You selected this option
Employ a subscription for additional cloud-based storage capacity.
You selected this option
Install an internal solid state drive.
You selected this option
Opt for an improved spindle design with a larger cache.
The option suggesting the installation of a solid state drive is the best choice for the technician to meet the user's needs. Solid state drives offer significantly faster data access speeds than traditional spinning disks due to their non-mechanical nature, resulting in quicker boot times and more responsive applications. Hybrids and faster versions of traditional disks do offer some performance improvements but do not match the performance increase provided by a solid state drive. Cloud-based solutions do not directly affect local boot and application performance.
