1. You are looking at high-performance SSD storage for your new Ultrabook. Your solution should be PCIe compatible and use the non-volatile memory express controller in order to utilize the available motherboard slot. Which of these options is the best choice?
A) A. SATA 2.5 B) B. M.2 C) C. NVMe M.2 D) D. None of these meets both requirements
2. You are replacing a hard disk and want to get the best performance possible from a standard magnetic HDD. Which rotational speed would you choose on your new hard disk?
A) A. 10,000 rpm B) B. 15,000 rpm C) C. 17,000 rpm D) D. 54,000 rpm
3. You have upgraded your laptop and find that it no longer fits the docking station you used for home to office portability. Which solution would you find most efficient?
A) A. Return laptop with one that fits the dock B) B. Replace the docking station with a port replicator C) C. Enable UPnP D) D. Any of these would be efficient
4. You are more comfortable working on your laptop as opposed to your 4G tablet. Your laptop is Wi-Fi capable. What would you add to your laptop to allow you to stay connected while traveling?
A) A. Bluetooth B) B. Wi-Fi extender C) C. Cellular card D) D. GPS
5. A user brings a Windows laptop into the office and connects it to a wireless network. Upon connecting to the network, the user is prompted to select whether the network is a home, work, or public network. The user selects the work profile and is able to access the Internet but cannot access office network resources.Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of the problem?
A) A. The user-s network card is malfunctioning. B) B. The user is connected to the wrong wireless network. C) C. The user-s firewall is blocking access to the resources. D) D. The user put in the wrong credentials.
1. Right Answer: C Explanation: NVMe M.2 meets your PCIe and non-volatile memory express controller requirements listed above in the question. M.2 offers substantially higher performance. Connecting M.2 to the PCIe bus and the NVMe (non-volatile memory express) controller will provide the highest performance the system will support.
2. Right Answer: B Explanation: 15,000 rpm is the fastest actual rotational speed from a standard magnetic HDD. 10,000 rpm is slower than 15,000 rpm and 17,000 rpm and 54,000 rpm hard disks do not exist. While SSD technology is becoming more affordable and is faster than magnetic hard disks, SSD technology is not an option in this question.
3. Right Answer: B Explanation: Docking stations have been largely replaced in favor of port replicators. A port replicator takes advantage of USB capabilities and does not require the laptop to be locked into the docking station. Returning the laptop would be highly inefficient and finding a new laptop with the correct fit is no simple task. UPnP could work but would require peripheral device upgrades. UPnP could also lead to a potential security risk.
4. Right Answer: C Explanation: Adding a cellular card to your laptop would enable you to use the cellular network for communication. Bluetooth would not add any consistent connectivity. A Wi-Fi extender does not have the range to support travel. GPS will only enable you to track your laptop.
