Answer: A - The most important benefit of solid-state drives in relation to mobile devices and laptops is that solid state drives have no moving parts.

Key Takeaway: Since laptops and mobile devices are portable, despite a user’s careful handling, the computer can easily get jostled. Since solid-state drives have no moving parts, they are far more resistant to physical shock, making them highly beneficial to users on the go. Solid-state drives are faster, but this benefits desktop and portable users equally. While manufacturers are developing solid-state hard drives that can hold more and more data, the price makes mechanical drives a better option when hard drive space is an issue. Solid-state drives and magnetic drives can both be encrypted.
