Answer 1

Correct answers:
- are physical devices that store data.
- have the potential to break and lose the data.

Explanation: mechanical hard drives (HDDs) are physical storage devices. They do not contain the CPU or perform computations — that's the CPU's role — and because they have moving parts they can fail and risk data loss.
