Which type of pc card (PCMCIA) slot will allow the insertion of a hard drive? A. type I B. type II C. type III D. type IV E. None of the above

The correct answer is: Type II.

A PC Card (also known as PCMCIA, Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) is a standard for small, hot-swappable cards used in laptops and other portable devices. PC Cards come in three sizes: Type I, Type II, and Type III.

• Type I cards are the smallest, measuring 3.3 x 2.1 x 5.0 mm. They are typically used for memory cards, modems, and network cards.
• Type II cards are slightly larger than Type I cards, measuring 5.0 x 2.1 x 3.3 mm. They are typically used for hard drives, CD-ROM drives, and floppy disk drives.
• Type III cards are the largest, measuring 8.5 x 2.1 x 5.0 mm. They are typically used for high-capacity hard drives and optical drives.

Only Type II PC Cards are large enough to accommodate a hard drive.
