Dell Technologies Proven Professional – Information Storage and Management — Question 2

Which type of storage is used to store NAS raw file data, and metadata?

Answer options

• A. File-based
• B. Block-based
• C. Object-based

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Block-based storage is the correct answer as it efficiently handles raw data and metadata in NAS environments. File-based storage is more suited for unstructured data access, while object-based storage is typically used for large amounts of unstructured data and may not be optimal for the specific needs of NAS.
