Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, SC Series — Question 46

A Storage Administrator needs to add drives to a base enclosure of a Dell EMC PowerStore 7000T system. The system currently contains 10 750 GB NVMe SCM drives.
Which drive configuration maximizes the base enclosure capacity?

Answer options

• A. 11 15360 GB NVMe SSD drives in slots 10 - 20
• B. 13 15360 GB NVMe SSD drives in slots 10 - 22
• C. 11 750 GB NVMe SCM drives in slots 10 - 20
• D. 13 750 GB NVMe SCM drives in slots 10 - 22

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because it maintains the same drive type (NVMe SCM) which is necessary for compatibility, while maximizing the number of drives in the enclosure. Options A and B use NVMe SSD drives, which do not match the existing drives and therefore cannot be added. Option D adds more of the same type but does not maximize the enclosure's capacity as effectively as C.
