Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, Unity XT — Question 42

What are the two biggest factors that determine IOPS when using SSDs in a Dell EMC SC Series array?

Answer options

• A. Current latency and queue depth
• B. Application block size and overall throughput
• C. Multi-tenant arrays and tier configuration
• D. Read/write percentage and peak workload

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because application block size and overall throughput directly impact the efficiency and speed of data processing in SSDs, thereby affecting IOPS. The other options, while relevant to storage performance, do not have as direct an effect on IOPS as the combination of block size and throughput.
