Dell EMC Associate – PowerEdge Server Specialist — Question 1

An administrator is implementing LTO-5 drives in their backup solution. They plan to disable hardware data compression through their backup appliance.
What is the maximum data rate that can be achieved?

Answer options

• A. 80 MB/s
• B. 120 MB/s
• C. 140 MB/s
• D. 160 MB/s

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The maximum data rate for LTO-5 drives, when hardware compression is disabled, is 140 MB/s, which is the correct answer. The other options, 80 MB/s, 120 MB/s, and 160 MB/s, do not represent the maximum achievable rate under these settings.
