Removable Electronic Media includes which of the following?

• A. CD-ROM
• B. Internal SATA hard drive
• C. RAM module
• D. Solid-state drive

Answer: (A)

Removable electronic media are items that can be physically removed from a system to store or transport data. A CD-ROM fits this definition because you can eject the disc and take it elsewhere, carrying data with you. An internal SATA hard drive stays inside the computer and is used for storage within the system, so it isn’t considered removable media. RAM modules hold volatile memory and aren’t used for long-term data storage or transport, so they aren’t classified as removable media. Solid-state drives are storage devices, but when installed inside a system they aren’t treated as removable media in this context, which focuses on media you can physically remove and carry. So CD-ROM is the best fit.
