📝 Sample Questions

Q1. A laptop needs fast boot times and frequent small file accesses. Which characteristic of solid-state disks most directly supports this requirement?

🔹 A. Higher rotational latency
🔹 B. No moving parts
🔹 C. Larger capacity
🔹 D. Higher seek time

💡 Difficulty: easy | ✅ Correct: B

Q2. Why do solid-state disks typically exhibit lower access latency than magnetic disks?

🔹 A. Because they have higher RPM values
🔹 B. Because they eliminate rotational latency
🔹 C. Because they use larger sectors
🔹 D. Because they contain more cylinders

💡 Difficulty: medium | ✅ Correct: B

Q3. Increasing the rotational speed of a hard disk drive primarily affects which performance aspects?

🔹 A. Increases both transfer rate and latency
🔹 B. Increases transfer rate but decreases latency
🔹 C. Decreases both transfer rate and latency
🔹 D. Has no effect on either metric

💡 Difficulty: hard | ✅ Correct: D
