The visual arts department requires new storage devices for actively editing and storing large multimedia files. Which type of storage device should a technician procure for optimal performance?
Solid-State Drives (SSDs) are the best choice for optimal performance when handling large files, as they offer significantly faster read and write speeds compared to other options. Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) are mechanical and slower, making them better suited for bulk storage or archiving where speed is not the primary concern. Hybrid drives (SSHDs) offer a compromise between HDD capacity and SSD speed but do not provide the same level of sustained performance as a pure SSD. Optical drives are unsuitable for this task due to their very slow write speeds and limited capacity, making them impractical for active file manipulation.
