A technician is upgrading the storage on a mobile device. The device currently has a 2.5-inch mechanical hard drive and there is a need for faster data access and improved shock resistance. Which of the following storage solutions should the technician choose to provide the BEST overall improvement to performance and durability?
You selected this option
Increase the capacity of the existing mechanical hard drive.
You selected this option
Replace with a higher RPM 2.5-inch mechanical hard drive.
An SSD that will fit in the laptop's existing 2.5-inch drive slot will provide significantly better data access speeds and shock resistance. An M.2 factor would be even better, but the question states this laptop has a 2.5 inch drive for the existing HDD and not an M.2 slot.
