Dell EMC Specialist – Implementation Engineer, vSAN Ready Nodes — Question 12

A storage administrator has provisioned 10 ֳ— 2GB volumes. 400MB of data is written to each of the ten volumes. What is the Thin Savings ratio for this configuration?

Answer options

• A. 3:1
• B. 4:1
• C. 5:1
• D. 6:1

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The Thin Savings ratio is calculated by comparing the total provisioned space to the actual space used. In this case, 10 volumes at 2GB each provide 20GB of provisioned space, while 4GB total is used (400MB per volume). This results in a Thin Savings ratio of 20GB to 4GB, which simplifies to 5:1, indicating that the answer is D.
