Which of the following storage options would a technician most likely recommend to have large amounts of affordable capacity without concern for read times on a desktop computer?
If performance is not a primary concern and the user requires large, cost-effective storage, a 2TB 5400rpm SATA HDD is ideal. It offers high capacity at a lower price point than SSDs and faster HDDs.
Option A: NVMe drives offer exceptional speed but are significantly more expensive per GB and not necessary when read/write speed is not a concern.
Option B: RAID 1 improves redundancy but cuts usable capacity in half and uses expensive SSDs.
Option D: SAS drives are fast and reliable but are enterprise-grade and expensive — overkill for desktop use.
