Dell EMC Associate – Information Storage and Management v5 — Question 63

What set of components are part of a block-based storage array controller?

Answer options

• A. Front-end ports - Back-end-ports - Cache - Link Control Cards
• B. Front-end ports - Cache - Link Control Cards
• C. Front-end ports - Cache
• D. Front-end ports - Back-end ports - Cache

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because a block-based storage array controller typically requires front-end ports for connectivity, back-end ports for communication with storage devices, and cache for performance optimization. Options A and B are incorrect as they include components that are not part of the standard configuration, while option C omits the back-end ports which are essential.
