Question 1 of 80

What are the differences between hard disk drives and solid state disks? (Choose two.)

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is A, E.

Hard disk drives (HDDs) have a motor and moving parts, which makes them more susceptible to physical damage and mechanical failure. In contrast, solid state disks (SSDs) do not have moving parts due to their use of flash memory, making them more durable and reliable. Additionally, SSDs provide faster access to stored data compared to HDDs because they do not rely on moving parts to read/write data, resulting in significantly improved performance.

Question 2 of 80

Reverse DNS assigns hostnames to IP addresses. How is the name of the IP address 198.51.100.165 stored on a DNS server?

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is B.

In reverse DNS, the PTR (Pointer) record is used to map an IP address to a hostname. To store the hostname for the IP address 198.51.100.165, the IP address is reversed, and the domain in-addr.arpa is appended. Therefore, the correct answer is that the name of the IP address 198.51.100.165 is stored in the PTR record for 165.100.51.198.in-addr.arpa.
