CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 117

A systems administrator is implementing a new file storage service that has been deployed in the company’s private cloud instance. The key requirement is fast read/write times for the targeted users, and the budget for this project is not a concern. Which of the following storage types should the administrator deploy?

Answer options

• A. Spinning disks
• B. NVMe
• C. SSD
• D. Hybrid

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is NVMe because it provides the fastest read/write speeds compared to other options due to its direct connection to the CPU via the PCIe bus. SSDs are faster than spinning disks, but they cannot match the performance of NVMe. Spinning disks are the slowest option, and hybrid solutions do not guarantee the same high performance as NVMe.
