A technician is performing system maintenance on an external magnetic hard disk drive (HDD) and a primary solid-state drive (SSD). They are deciding which utility software tools to run on each device.
Which statement correctly describes the purpose and operational impact of the selected utility software on these storage media?
Running a defragmentation utility on the HDD reorganises fragmented files into contiguous blocks to minimise read/write head movement, whereas running it on the SSD is unnecessary and degrades the drive due to limited write endurance.
Running a disk compression utility on the SSD increases the physical storage capacity of flash memory, whereas running a defragmentation utility on the SSD is required to align physical sectors.
Running an incremental backup utility on the HDD formats the storage sectors to prevent future fragmentation, whereas running a disk clean-up utility on the SSD physically reorganises data.
Running a defragmentation utility on the SSD reduces access times by grouping data into a single physical cylinder, whereas running an encryption utility on the HDD is primarily used to compress unused disk sectors.
