Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
Solid-state drives (SSDs) use flash memory and have no moving mechanical parts, making them more resistant to physical shock and damage compared to magnetic drives, which rely on spinning platters.
This resilience makes SSDs favorable in environments with higher physical risk.
However, data recovery from SSDs can be more complex due to wear-leveling and TRIM features.
NIST and forensic hardware guides highlight SSD durability advantages over traditional magnetic storage.

I’m confused about the cost aspect; I thought SSDs were more expensive, so D seems questionable to me.

I think SSDs are less susceptible to damage because they don't have moving parts, right?
