Hi all,
Well, I am preparing to take the Server+ Exam and I am really just using online study tools to prepare for the test + some prior experience. While taking the ProProfs Server+ practice test at the Quiz School, I encountered some questions that had incorrect answers to the best of my knowledge. If I mentioned these questions, will it be possible to correct (if necessary) them?

EX: Comptia Server+ Practice Test Questions 76-100 : Set 4 of 4

Q.1)    
NICs are used only in Peer-To-Peer networks.

A. True
B. False

Correct Answer shown: True. Explanation: NIC are meant to connect any type of system on to the network.

NICs are indeed used to connect to ANY type of network but why is the statement True?

Q.4)    
ESD can affect which of the following?

A. Motherboard
B. Hard Drive
C. Printer
D. None of the above

Correct Answer shown: A. Explanation: Motherboard has sensitive IC components that can blow up due to ESD.

Aren't hard drives also ESD sensetive?

Am I just confused or is this answer really not correct?

Best Regards,

To my knowlodge Hard Drives are not that senstive to ESD because most hard drives have some kind of metal casing around them or something that protects that actualy circuits, where as the motherboard has nothing to protect its circuits from ESD.

It is true that a Hard Drive COULD be damaged from ESD but its A LOT more likely it would happen to a mobo.
