What is the function of a capture card?

6 provides a connection to multiple storage devices
enables 32-bit or 64-bit redundant connections to the computer
enables a video signal to be recorded to the computer hard drive

Why are solid state drives reliable and therefore suitable to be installed in comp
8 used in harsh industrial workplaces?
They consume less power and have no moving parts.
The drive motors have larger storage capacity and can be mirrored.
Data is accessed from the drive disks faster than it is on other drives.
The encrypted data on solid state drives is more secure than it is with other d
technologies.
