A Correct answer
Explanation

DASD (Direct Access Storage Device) is an external device compared to main memory, and external devices generally operate at slower speeds than internal memory due to data transfer overhead and physical access mechanisms. This is a fundamental concept in computer architecture - the memory hierarchy places fast but small internal memory above slower but larger external storage.
