Again a question where interpreting it may cause some confusion. Given the text "to increase its performance while working with a large database stored on drive C:" migrating it would negate this sentence, B and D would make more sense. If it wasnt for that sentence id go for SSD for sure instead of hybrid.

Dude installing a hybrid still means you have to migrate. If you install it and not migrate then you installed it for no reason. Correct answer is D and E.

Trying to understand what comptia is thinking is more trouble than it's worth....but I agree with the thought process here.

I don't agree. Look, migrating to a hybrid is still migrating. So, why just not use the best performing hard disk? SSD is better than magnet and will perform better.

Yeah I do not agree either if your already migrating might as well migrate to a faster drive. The only way I see a hybrid drive being better is if money was a problem but the question makes no mention of it.

i think hybrid works the best, because the question says they're working with a very large database, and generally SSDs have less storage space than HDDs. you can get the speed benefits of the SSD while still having plenty of space for the large database.

D&E are answers To increase the performance of a laptop working with a large database stored on drive C, a systems administrator should increase the RAM and migrate to an SSD. Increasing the RAM will help the laptop to better handle the large database, while migrating to an SSD will improve the speed at which the laptop can access the database. Configuring RAID 1, installing a hybrid drive, upgrading to a 1GB NIC, and upgrading the power supply will not directly improve the laptop's performance when working with a large database.

Increase the RAM (D): Adding more RAM will allow the laptop to handle larger datasets more efficiently, reducing the need for frequent data swaps between the RAM and the storage drive, thus improving performance. Migrate to an SSD (E): Replacing the existing drive with an SSD will significantly speed up data access times, which is crucial for database operations. SSDs are much faster than traditional hard drives, resulting in quicker read and write operations.

Makes the most sense because the only reason to buy a hybrid drive is cost and the question does not mention cost.

Seems like BD, I say hybrid drive because it mentions "large database stored on drive C:" if I am assuming large as in LARGEEE, which means SSD would cost a lot more to have the same capacity. Hybrid have capacity and speed. From the internet \/ A hybrid hard drive (HHD), sometimes known as a solid-state hybrid drive (SSHD), is a mass storage device that combines a conventional hard disk drive (HDD) and a NAND flash module. An HHD blends the capacity, cost and performance of physical disk storage with the accelerated performance of flash.

D. Increase the RAM: Increasing the laptop's RAM (Random Access Memory) will allow it to handle larger amounts of data more efficiently. With more RAM available, the laptop can cache more database-related information, reducing the need to access the slower storage drive frequently. E. Migrate to a SSD: Upgrading to a Solid State Drive (SSD) from a traditional Hard Disk Drive (HDD) will significantly improve the laptop's performance. SSDs are faster and more responsive than HDDs, and they can read and write data much more quickly. This will result in faster database access and overall better performance

RAM is obvious, why hybrid not SSD is due to "large data base" in CompTIA study materials they consider SSD to have capacity lower than HDD and there is also cost involved.

To increase performance of a laptop working with database stored on c: drive, a system administrator should increase RAM and migrating the to an SSD . Increasing the RAM will help the laptop to better handle the large database, while migrating to an SSD will improve speed at which the laptop can access the database. All the others will not improve performance while working with a large database. Reference comptia objective 3.1 DE

B & D "migrate" instead of "install" a SSD made me choose the Hybrid. We cannot assume it does not already have an SSD.
