A technician needs to install a new high-performance storage device into a small form factor (SFF) workstation that will be used for graphic design and video editing work. The workstation has a high-speed M.2 slot available on the motherboard. Which storage type should the technician install to BEST meet the workstation's performance needs?
A Non-volatile Memory Express (NVMe) M.2 Solid State Drive (SSD)
A 7,200rpm 2.5-inch Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) Hard Drive
An mSATA Solid State Drive using SATA III interface
An externally connected USB 3.0 Hard Disk Drive with 5,400rpm speed
An NVMe M.2 SSD would be the best choice for the high-performance storage device in this scenario. NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) drives utilize the PCIe bus for significantly faster data transfer speeds compared to SATA interfaces. The small form factor of the M.2 drive makes it ideal for the SFF workstation while providing ample speed for intensive tasks like graphic design and video editing.
